Computational electromagnetics from a user's perspective

Some of the more important issues in CEM (computational electromagnetics) are examined, focusing on the interplay of analysis and computation. EM codes are considered from both the developer's and user's perspectives, and code design for user-friendliness is discussed. It is concluded that CEM will become more accurate and efficient for all users by providing a single interface and problem-description language giving access to a variety of different codes, built-in input-data checking and error trapping, user-selectable optional validation checks, graphical and interactive output displays, and a convenient way to compare the results of different models.<
