Tips & Tricks

Relation between Bulk Modulus K, Shear Modulus G, Young's Modulus E and Poisson's ratio ν

This tip explains the relations between the parameters that describe the linear elastic behavior of materials

How to convert force-deflection into true stress-strain curves?

This tip helps to convert typical tensile test data into stress-strain curves to be used in many material models of Virtual Performance Solution (VPS)

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

Physical Optics (PO) VS. Geometrical Optics (GO)

The purpose of this article is to compare two High Frequency formalisms, namely Physical Optics & Geometrical Optics, with a brief overview of their advantages & drawbacks.

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.
