Transient Electromagnetic Simulations of Lightning Strike and its Multiphysics Effect Analysis

This paper presents a comprehensive approach to studying and mitigating lightning-induced electromagnetic pulses (LEMP) using Ansys HFSS. Through advanced computational techniques, including adaptive mesh refinement and hybrid solvers, we ensure high-fidelity solutions in both time and frequency domains. Integration with Ansys Electronics Desktop enables seamless multi-physics simulations, eliminating manual data transfer and enhancing efficiency. Leveraging automation via Python scripting and API further streamlines processes, promising accelerated analysis, and optimized workflows. This innovative methodology holds great promise in revolutionizing our understanding of LEMP effects and equipping researchers with practical tools for robust mitigation strategies. Its potential impact on fortifying aerospace and defense systems against lightning-induced disturbances is profound, promising a new era in electromagnetic pulse research and application.
