Mesh assembly framework for hybrid 3D FEM/FEBI/MoM electromagnetic simulations

In this paper we will introduce a powerful 3D electromagnetic simulation framework for meshing and solving multi-scale 3D high frequency systems including rapid parametric studies. The fundamental aspect of this framework is to break up a complex model into 3D components which can be meshed independently and then assembled. This method, called assembly meshing, provides several benefits: more robust meshing, reuse of component meshes, accelerated system meshing by creation of the 3D component meshes in parallel, and accelerated parametric studies. In addition, the most appropriate meshing and solver algorithms can be used for each component. All the aforementioned benefits are essential for a robust and efficient 3D system simulator.
