Tips & Tricks

How to define height of constraint UDT profile with respect to the Blankholder?

Method to constrain the height of UDT profile bulge with respect to the Blankholder

How to define tipping for free double parts with existing forming direction?

Recommendation to position properly the free double parts in case the forming direction is predefined.

How to get back the hidden Part Definition after accepting dialogue?

Option to deactivate to get back the hidden part definition after accepting dialogue.

How to improve the update performance on iterations?

Recommendation to optimize the update performance during iterations.

How to model Cable Networks & Connectors?

This paper is aimed at describing the modeling process to be applied to the terminal connectors of a Cable Network when focusing on 3D/Multiconductor Transmission Lines (MTL) coupling

How to manage small sized Reference Boxes?

This paper is introducing the “–RB” option of the FD mesh generator allowing PAM-CEM/FD users to manage one limited part of a complete CAD model, without any hand-made cleaning stage

How to avoid oscillatory phenomena with short circuited terminals of Cable Networks ?

Cable Networks with short-circuited terminals may exhibit Common-Mode (CM) currents with a highly oscillatory behavior. This article illustrates one solution to eliminate such behavior by considering lossy dielectric coatings varying with the frequency.

FD Interpolating Scheme near Metallic Structures

This article illustrates the PAM-CEM/FD interpolation scheme applied to compute the tangential electric field along wires’ path running near metallic structures (and aimed at avoiding the management of field components on both sides of the surface).

3D/Multiconductor Transmission Lines (MTL) Coupling VS. Stand-Alone FDTD (Accuracy)

This article is aimed at comparing the 3D/Multiconductor Transmission Lines (MTL) coupling accuracy with the PAM-CEM/FD stand-alone use, when applied to simplified wired models. Recommendations for good agreement are also proposed.

How to complete partial part on binder die design with “flat” part boundary?

In the following picture, the die entry radius in the addendum region should disappear smoothly in a flat surface (or infinite radius). In current version, there is no function to directly fulfill this need.
