ESI Releases the PAM-CEM Simulation Suite Version 2009

ESI Group announced the release of the 2009 version of its PAM-CEM software package for Computational Electromagnetics.

The PAM-CEM Simulation Suite offers industrial coupling capabilities to fully address realistic models in their early design stage and to assess real electromagnetic multi-scale phenomena occurring in the middle and high frequency ranges. A major benefit to end users is PAM-CEM’s ability to handle fully equipped 3D models featuring on-board complex antennas, as well as realistic cable networks.

PAM-CEM Version 2009 includes several key enhancements of significant benefit for transportation, aeronautics and defense, as well as telecommunications and electronics industries, among which:

* Direct access to the electromagnetic fields radiated in the so-called “near zone” surrounding the 3D computational domain and allowing to account for distant antennas or high frequency on-board automotive RADAR devices, without major computational drawbacks

* Improvement of the EMS (Immunity) interpolation scheme allowing Cable Networks to run very close to the metallic (meshed) structures and thus avoiding hand-made running path redesign

* Full review of the PAM-CEM/FD output process with dedicated calibrating and/or normalizing options (fully automatic or user controlled), dedicated output of induced currents along Cable Networks for 3D display with Visual-Viewer

The overall performance, including graphical user interface and ease-of-use, has been significantly improved in this latest release with the development of Visual-CEM 5.5, a dedicated user environment allowing the management of billions of unknowns, leading to higher operating frequencies.

“Together with the very first Visual-CEM dedicated environment, issued earlier this year, the PAM-CEM 2009.0 release helps our customers analyze and design within a continuously expanding electromagnetic spectrum”, said Dr. Jean-Claude Kedzia, PAM-CEM Product Manager, ESI Group. “Realistic modelling with an increasing operating frequency is the challenge not only for Aeronautics & Defense, but other industries as well. With all of the new navigation and anti-collision systems, industrial requirements from the automotive sector are now quite similar when targeting Active Safety.”
