John Dunn, Senior Engineering Consultant, AWR

Methods pioneered by mathematicians and computer scientists to dramatically speed up simulations and allow for solving much larger problems. The goal of this tutorial is to explain these methods at a level that the SI engineer can understand, without getting bogged down in mathematical detail. Both planar and the various 3D finite element methods (FEM) will be discussed. Examples will show how to properly (and improperly) use these methods in SI applications.
