Abstract :
WEMAP (Westinghouse Electric and Magnetic Analysis Program) is a general purpose system for electromagnetic analysis. It is being developed at the Westinghouse Electric Corp. and is currently running on a Prime 450 at the R&D center. The purpose of WEMAP is to provide design engineers with a simple set of tools to evaluate their electromagnetic designs. This paper describes the system and its preprocessor, executive, analysis and postprocessor modules. A nonlinear magnetostatic problem is shown as an example.
