Abstract

In this contribution various problems appeared. Besides the implementation of a TLM- simulator simple absorbing walls had to be introduced which are called phase walls. A program was implemented to automatically discretize a structure from its geometrical data which generated a discretization profile for the TLM-simulator and other programs. The programs described require different input formats. Therefore, a specific program has been created which generates input formats for the programs mentioned above from the geometrical and physical data as well as from the discretization profile. A method was developed for the analysis of the simulation data with harmonic behavior and realized in a program. All programs have been implemented in the programming language C whereby size of all programs comes close to 7000 lines programming code.
