Integrated Information Interface for Electromagnetic Modeling and Simulation Tools

This work will extend and revise the design of the Computational Electromagnetic Framework to provide graphical user interface and pre- and post-processing capabilities to a variety of computational electromagnetic (CEM) software products for accurate and rapid design and prototyping for a variety of practical real-world DoD electromagnetic problems. Five Framework components are proposed: a model builder in which users describe the geometrical structure and have it translated into EM models; an application builder, in which users construct the "scene" to be simulated, complete with environment, sources, observables, geometries, etc.; a post-processor by which users format, manipulate, and visualize electromagnetic and engineering results, a database into which all models and results are restored and from which they are retrieved; and a Remote Software Management Console, from which a suite of CEM codes - perhaps residing on different computers - can be programmed, executed, and result retrieved.
