CST – Computer Simulation Technology
Designing Building Structures for Protection against EMP and Lightning
EMP is a high-intensity burst of electromagnetic energy that can potentially cause major disruption to vital infrastructure such as telecommunications, electrical power, banking and finance, emergency services, medical facilities, transportation, food and water supply. Lightning can cause significant damage by directly striking a building, when metallic structures such as electrical wiring provide return current flow in an attempt to equalize potentials.

EMC Simulation of Consumer Electronic Devices
By including EMC compliant design at an early stage, additional costly design iterations can be avoided later on down the line. This article describes a workflow for the EMC simulation of a wireless router, using techniques that can be applied to a wide... -
Resolving Safety-Critical EMI Problems Between AM Transmitters and Cranes Using a 3D Field Solver
Electromagnetic fields from two high-power AM transmitters close to a construction site induced dangerously high voltages in crane booms, damaging equipment and injuring workers. With construction halted, a solution was urgently required. Electromagnetic...
