Computational electromagnetics and industry
C.W. Trowbridge · 2002
Special concerns relevant in the current climate of over-specialisation and a perceived weakening in taking proper notice of the requirements of industry are examined.The discussion examines the nature of CEM and notes the main topics researched in the last 25 years using the International Compumag Conference as an exemplar.This is followed by an assessment of industrial needs and the means by which a relationship between designers and method developers could be strengthened.The status and management of CEM bench marking activities are highlighted with a special reference to the TEAM (Testing of Electromagnetic Analysis Methods) exercise since its introduction in 1995.Finally, we provide some comments on how the community might be best organised to meet future challenges.
