3D EMC simulation

Goals

The objectives of the training 3D EMC simulation :

At the end of this training course, trainees will be able to position digital EMC simulation in its industrial context. At the end of this training course, trainees will be able to identify the benefits of digital simulation and build a digital simulation plan.

The aim of this training course is to:

• Master the general approach to digital modelling


• Understand the digital modelling ecosystem


• Understand and master the specific features of digital modelling in the industrial process


• Be able to define a digital modelling plan


• Understand the specific features of digital modelling for certain issues, such as lightning, HIRF, EMC systems, antennas, DAS, etc.
