Cables

There may be a variety of electric or magnetic effects of interest with cables. The table below provides the suggested simulation software for different analysis types. In many cases the RLCG matrices are very useful (e.g. for cross-talk simulation). For this it is possible to combine the ELECTRO and OERSTED modules into a single program which combines the Circuit Parameters mode of each.

Analysis Type	2D or RS	3D Simulation
Electric Field Analysis	ELECTRO	COULOMB (Phasor Approximation)
Magnetic Field Analysis (no eddy currents)	MAGNETO	AMPERES (Phasor Approximation)
Eddy Current Coupling Analysis (and magnetic field analysis)	OERSTED	FARADAY (Phasor Approximation)
