emGine Environment - 3D Electromagnetic Field Simulator

The emGine Environment(TM) is a full-wave 3D electromagnetic field simulation environment solving Maxwell's equations in time-domain. It is used for the modeling of high-frequency electromagnetic field in microwave circuits, antennas, resonators, microwave filters, hollow waveguides, etc.  

emGine Environment is a 3D electromagnetic field simulator for microwave circuits, antennas, planar structures, microstrip transmission lines, etc. It is a full-wave 3D time-domain EM solver. Example of a 12 port interconnection with coupling - signal integrity. Example of S-Parameters of a 12 port interconnection - signal integrity. Total computation time is 5 minutes on our emGine emCluster(TM).
 

The emGine Environment is provided free for non-commercial purposes (see the licenses for more details) and consists of the following components:

  • Time-domain full-wave 3D electromagnetic simulator tlmGine
  • Open Source Graphical User Interface emGine GUI for the input, pre-processing and post-processing of electromagnetic models (tri-license MPL/GPL/LGPL)
  • EMM - ElectroMagnetic Model specification

 

The development of the emGine Environment(TM) is focused to have following features:

  • Accuracy
  • Speed, support for multi-core computations
  • Portability - the emGine Environment is running on multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS X)
  • Open standards and interoperability, e.g., Open Source GUI, XML-based EMM specification
  • User-friendly handling

News

10.10.2009

Experimental release of the complete 3D EM field simulator emGine Environment 0.9.0 is available for download.

This version includes many new features, like:

  • Definition of magnetic properties (permeability)  of materials
  • Different materials can be assigned different colors
  • View of the 3D mesh
  • True 2-Port simulations - i.e., s11, s12, s21, s22 - with reference simulations for each port
  • Simulation accuracy is specified in attenuation in dB of the energy of the simulation region
  • Plots can be scaled, moved and saved as png, pdf, jpg
  • Remote computing support with emCluster(TM)
However, the current experimental version is still missing important features like re-reading of simulation results when a simulation is re-opened, which will be present in the final 0.9 version.

The source code for the emGine GUI version 0.7.5 is available for download in the download section. It contains the new AUI window manager and GDSII import library ipkiss.

03.02.2009

emGine Wiki has been started, which is the primary source for documentation, tutorials and examples for the emGine Environment.

07.07.2008

Testing release 0.7.5 is available for download. The new features in this release are:

  • Plane wave excitation in free-space
  • Import of planar multilayer GDSII (stream) geometry - for editing and creation of GDSII files you can use the great free layout editor
  • Improved computation of S-Parameters from time-domain signals
  • Export of S-Parameters in touchstone (s1p, s2p, etc..) format
  • New cool docking window manager (take a look at the screenshots!)

03.06.2008

A user mailing list has been created. The emGine-Users mailing list is provided for users of the emGine Environment to post questions, suggestions, bug reports, etc., and to encourage discussion among the users. Do not hesitate and subscribe to the mailing list today!

04.04.2008

Testing release 0.7.4 is available for download. The new features in this release include:

  • Boundary conditions (PEC/PMC/Open) setup for outer boundaries of the simulation region
  • A great Smith Chart plotting object in matplotlib which was contributed by Sherif Sayed Ahmed - take a look at the screenshots! Great work, many thanks!
  • Switching between perspective/orthogonal view
  • Top/Bottom/Front/Back/Left/Right predefined views
