A review of finite element software used in microwave engineering combining software construction, mathematical methods, and applications with currently available products and suppliers. The 29 contributing researchers show engineers how problems can be formulated to fit particular commercial software requirements, evaluating the programs used to solve "interior problems" of microwave devices and the classes of external boundary-value problems being used for software solution. They also include speculations on the future of such softwares, and the packages and suppliers who are now offering suitable commercial products. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
This book presents an overview of finite element software. It discusses the capabilities and limitations of the available softwear and helps readers formulate engineering problems so that they fit into the framework of current software.
