Numerical modelling enables conceptual design without the need to build and test. The aim is minimisation of development cost and time and the maximisation of system performance. Computational modelling can provide these benefits.
Our main EM modelling software product is called Celia, an acronym of Computational ELectromagnetic Interaction Analysis.
Celia is a software package that has been developed to provide a fast and effective design tool for complex EM system design. Included in Celia are all the tools necessary for quick and simple construction and analysis of problems. At the heart of Celia is a state of the art FDTD solver providing powerful capability to tackle the most demanding problems.
The FDTD method, on which Celia is based, is the most popular contemporary method for complex EM analysis tasks. Indeed it is one of very few techniques that can provide solutions for wideband analysis of regions containing inhomogeneous dispersive dielectrics, non-linear anisotropic and highly heterogeneous material properties. Such difficulties often arise in practical applications.
Many modern application areas, such as sub-surface radar, biological tissue dosimetry and microwave communications require extensive design and development work to optimise the antenna response. Classical analysis methods often fall short due the difficulty of incorporating the complex environments in which these antennas must operate. In such instances FDTD has often been found to be the best if not the only available solution methodology.
The Celia software is geared to these markets with state of the art boundary conditions for exceptional accuracy and reduced computational resource requirements. Indeed Celia is the only commercially available package to provide a lossy and dispersive perfectly matched layer RBC for materials such as soils and biological tissues.
Reduce your costs and your time to market. Cut through layers of build/test cycles by utilising computational tools at the concept/design stage. We are experts in the development and application of these tools and can show you how to achieve the maximum benefit to your bottom line.
Improve your competitive edge. Maximise scope at the pre-prototype stage by drawing on the most popular and powerful EM design tool available today. Computational tools are very efficient for scoping large numbers of similar designs. This enables a wider and deeper understanding of the problem at hand enabling your engineers to provide better solutions.
To allow you confidence in the modelling ethos, we at Virtual Science take verification and validation very seriously. We are engineers first, software developers second. The primary focus for our work is the end product, which is your application. Our software is extensively validated against the most challenging problems utilising experimental work to ensure correct and accurate results.
Not economical to invest in developing in-house expertise? Then get us to solve your problems for you. We provide an expert consultancy service backed by decades of experience in engineering and computing. We understand the needs of business, large and small, and can provide constructive support in giving you the benefits of modelling solutions, whether that be a toe in the water or a comprehensive outsourced project support facility. Contact us to discuss your needs.
If you are sceptical that we can help you because your work is too challenging to approach with numerical modelling then contact us, I'm sure we'll be able to show you otherwise. If we don't already have validation work relevant to your application and you are serious in your intent, we will undertake to provide it for you, free of cost. Contact us for details of this service.
