Abstract :
The paper describes the implementations of a 3D finite element code for high frequency electromagnetic analysis on a distributed memory parallel-computer. This implementation uses unstructured finite element meshes, high-order isoparametric approximation functions and newly developed iterative equation solutions for complex matrices. Results demonstrate the ability to solve large scattering problems.
