Shielding Effectiveness

The Shielding Effectiveness automatic workflow allows users to run a basic shielding effectiveness simulation using only one click. The workflow automatically assigns structural steel as the material type to the geometry, defines the domain and spatial/temporal steps, illuminates the geometry using an incident planewave with a Gaussian pulse, places a probe within the cavity of the geometry, and then post-processes the results.

Model geometry should be open in the model window prior to beginning the automatic workflow.

Using the shielding effectiveness workflow

  1. By default, the shielding effectiveness automatic workflow uses a minimum of 50 spatial steps across the domain to mesh the geometry. If different resolution is desired, click the dropdown arrow beneath the SE workflow 24 Shielding Effectiveness button in the Workflows section of the EMA3D tab in the ribbon then click SE workflow 24 Settings.

    se workflow 1

    Expand Shielding Workflow in the Properties Panel and then change the Minimum Number of Steps. Click OK Check Image 16 to save and run.

    se workflow 2

  2. Alternatively, if the default number of 50 is sufficient, simply click theSE workflow 24 Shielding Effectiveness button in the Workflows section of the EMA3D tab in the ribbon to start the simulation.
