Title: EMPHASIS/Nevada CABANA user Guide. Version 2.0.

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1029811· OSTI ID:1029811

The CABle ANAlysis (CABANA) portion of the EMPHASIS{trademark} suite is designed specifically for the simulation of cable system-generated electromagnetic pulse (SGEMP). The code can be used to evaluate the response of a specific cable design to threat or to compare and minimize the relative response of difference designs. This document provides user-specific information to facilitate the application of the code to cables of interest. It solves the electrical portion of a cable SGEMP simulation. It takes specific results from the deterministic radiation-transport code CEPTRE as sources and computes the resulting electrical response to an arbitrary cable load. The cable geometry itself is also arbitrary and is limited only by the patience of the user in meshing and by the available computing resources for the solution. The CABANA simulation involves solution of the quasi-static Maxwell equations using finite-element method (FEM) techniques.
