Metrics of an intuitive GUI for integrating micromagnetic simulation engine OOMMF with RF computation software SPICE

There is a DoD need for an interface of nonlinear micromagnetic computation engines with standard RF circuit design tools. Such an interface will allow RF design engineers to easily and intuitively simulate circuits containing certain nonlinear micromagnetic self-adaptive components such as frequency selective limiters (FSL) and signal-to-noise enhancers (SNE) at the fundamental materials level, and adopt them for circuit design. Complex Computation proposes to evaluate the current pre- and post- processing requirements of the micromagnetic computation engine OOMMF and study its potential integration into the RF design tool SPICE. OOMMF and SPICE were chosen because both tools are implemented in C/C++ and are in standard use. The deliverable of Phase I project will be a metric of an intuitive integrated GUI as well as use cases, and plans to integrate the simulation processes; the Phase I Option Period will enable a preliminary GUI implementation and draft user guide.
