EMP 5.0

de Field Precision, Inc.

EMP simulates electromagnetic pulses in 2D planar geometries and 3D cylindrical systems. The program employs unique finite-element methods on conformal triangular meshes for accurate representations of curved and sloped material boundaries. Run times are short, typically a few seconds on a high-performance computer. EMP supports matched-termination absorbing boundaries to simulate open-space conditions. Spatial data can be analyzed quickly with the VEMP interactive post-processor. This program generates quantitative data and a wide variety of plots. The package also includes the Probe utility to plot temporal signals. EMP applications areas include microwave devices, particle accelerators, pulsed-power generators and electromagnetic interference. (Available for Linux and Windows. Requires Mesh 5.0.)
