Abstract

The computer modeling and simulation of EMC programs of complex structures are addressed, using the NEC and ESP moment method codes. The rules and guidelines of modeling using the two codes are summarized. In addition, visualization and automation of the modeling process are made possible through an interface computer program GEOM developed at Arizona State University. Finally, the interference between two wire antennas mounted on a complex helicopter model is given as an example of using these codes in EMC applications.
