DO-160 Simulation

DO-160 Simulation

One of the challenges of electromagnetic modeling on systems (aircraft, wind turbines, etc.) is understanding the induced transients on individual pins. It is reasonably straightforward to model the currents that are induced on overall cable bundles. However, it is the current and voltage on individual conductors that often matters to system designers. The geometry is […]
