*Physical Structure
*Computational Domain
*Discretization
*Sources
*Observables
*DiscretizationThe above attributes are what you normally need to define and specify before you run a computer simulation of a physical problem. First, you have to define the physical structure to be analyzed within a well-defined computational domain. The physical structure and possibly the computational domain need to be discretized using some kind of mesh generator. Next, you have to define a source for exciting your physical structure. Finally, you need to specify appropriate simulation observables to generate data that characterize the behavior of your physical structure. Now you can run the simulation engine, i.e., one of [[EM.Cube]]'s several electromagnetic solvers.
The specific contents of each attribute may vary from module to module depending on the underlying physics. For example, the geometric objects listed under your project's physical structure have different sets of properties in each module. Some source types like plane waves and Hertzian short dipoles or some observable types like field sensors, far-field radiation patterns and radar cross section (RCS) have identical definitions in all computational modules. Of [[EM.Cube]]'s computational modules, [[EM.Tempo]] serves as a general-purpose electromagnetic simulator that can handle most types of modeling problems involving arbitrary geometries and complex material variations in both time and frequency domains.
