Review of the latest feature additions to the electromagnetic solver FEKO

Abstract

The numerical algorithms in the electromagnetic field solver FEKO are under constant development to add new methods or to improve the existing ones. In this paper we present a selection of the most recent extensions, namely the introduction of curvilinear wire segments in the MoM and MLFMM solvers (complementing the already available curvilinear surface meshes), the modeling of 3D anisotropic materials in the FEM and FDTD solvers, and the extension of the integrated cable harness modeling to also include the Vance model for braided shields (in addition to Kley and Schelkunoff).
