Exclusive Technology: Domain Decomposition
Efficient solution for very large
electromagnetic problems;
Naturally parallelizable to take
advantage of high-performance
computing resources;
Distributed via Message
Passing Interface (MPI).
Automatic generation of domains
by mesh partitioning:
User friendly;
Load balance.
Distributes mesh sub-domains
to networked processors and memory
HF - HFSS
Load balance.
Full wave IE MoM Solver
Hybrid technique (FEM + IE MoM) to solver very
large field problems
