Solution Methods for Cables

Solve a cable harness with either the Multiconductor transmission line (MTL) method or the Method of moments (MoM), only for shielded cables method.

Multiconductor transmission line (MTL)

  • Solve the model with the multiconductor transmission line theory, hybridised with the MoM or MLFMM.
  • The cable path should ideally be within λ10 of the conducting surface, although distances of up to λ5 are allowed. Alternatively, a cable reference direction can be set on the cable path.
  • Connections between the cable and MoM geometry are not allowed.

Method of moments (MoM), only for shielded cables

  • Solve the model with the combined MoM/MTL solver.
  • Any arbitrary cable path is allowed - the height restriction of the MTL does not apply.
  • Cables must be shielded.
  • Connections between the cable and MoM geometry are allowed.
