Weapon System Performance in Complex Radio Frequency (RF) Environments

This Phase II effort has two objectives: The first objective involves implementing the capability to repair or convert existing mesh such that it is optimized for full wave solvers; the second objective is to lay the foundation for a complete meshing tool that will allow a user to quickly go from CAD creation or CAD import to final mesh. Under the Phase I effort we developed a procedure for repairing existing meshes and performed proof of concept testing using several Navy provided test cases. These repair procedures can also be used to convert asymptotic meshes into full wave meshes. The primary goal of Phase II is to extend the proof of concept repair techniques developed in Phase I and implement them into a production version, user-friendly, stand-alone tool set for routine mesh repair and mesh conversion. The stand-alone gridding tool kit will also include a framework for full meshing capability that can go from CAD to mesh for complex configurations in about 2 hours.
