The paper on EMC Simulation Analysis of Enclosures demonstrates a simulation method to analyze the shielding effectiveness of enclosures. From the early development stage on it is possible to analyze the effect of electromagnetic waves on shielding panels. Different types of openings have been virtually measured in a test chamber. Therefore the full Maxwell equations have been solved in the frequency domain. Special care has been taken on boundary conditions in order to model the excitation and the test chamber. Simulation results of panels with circular holes have been compared with analytic solutions. The simulated field damping show good agreement with analytic results from the literature.
