Abstract :
This paper presents a full-wave 3D electromagnetic transient simulation method which uses an unstructured finite-element mesh. The mesh elements have a range of sizes and orientations such that, rather than forming a regular grid, they conform to the geometry of the model, respecting all its details. This paper will discuss the method and present some examples of applications.
