Analysis software SHIP EDF

designmodelingsimulation

Ship EDF is a software framework conceived for the electromagnetic (EM) design of naval vessels. It is a comprehensive system that supports concurrent EM modeling and simulation, therefore assisting the optimization of a naval platform’s electromagnetic environment effects (E3). The software is modular and provides: EMC/EMI assessment Antenna placement Radiation hazard identification Electromagnetic compatibility below deck Radar cross section (RCS) analysis Infrared (IR) signature analysis EM risk analysis and management In the past, electromagnetic, infrared and radar cross section assessment would be performed through physical measurements. These would be conducted during sea trials following the completion of a new vessel and prior to its commissioning. At this stage the scope and scale of any modifications to the ship’s design are limited, expensive and time consuming. Ship EDF provides the tools for E3 naval platform simulation and design, allowing these activities to start during the early conceptual design phase and to continue all the way through the design and construction phases to the final acceptance tests. Ship EDF provides detailed models and simulations of the electromagnetic environment, infrared signature and radar cross section of a new ship’s design and makes use of advanced electromagnetic solvers as well as analytical, computational and design procedures, which have been internally developed and validated in a continuous process since 1982. These aid the designer in making changes and selecting the best choices during the critical early design stages.
