Finite element modeling has proven useful for accurtely simulating scattered or radiated fields from complex three-dimensional objects whose geometry varies on the scale of a fraction of a wavelength.
The usefulness of finite element modeling follows from the ability to accurately simulate the gemetry and three-dimensional fields on the scale of a fraction of a wavelength. To make this meodelling practical for engineering design,it is necessary to integrate the stages of geometry modeling and mesh generation, numbeical solution and display of fields.
