EIGER: Electromagnetic Interactions GEneRalized

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15004758
The EIGER (Electromagnetic Interactions Generalized) modeling suite is a joint development activity by the Lawrence Livermore National Lab, Sandia National Labs, the University of Houston, and the Navy (Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center-San Diego). The effort endeavors to bring the next generation of hybrid, higher-order, full-wave analysis methods into a single integrated framework. The tools are based upon frequency-domain solutions of Maxwell's equations to model scattering and radiation from complex 2D and 3D structures. The framework employs boundary element solutions of integral equation formulations and finite element solutions of the Helmholtz wave equation. A goal is to use higher-order representations to model both the geometry (using higher-order geometric elements) and numerical methods (using higher-order vector basis functions). In addition, a variety of advanced Green's functions and symmetry operators can be applied to efficiently treat geometries containing such features as layered material regions and periodic structures. Each of these methods can be brought to bear simultaneously, on different portions of a complex structure. HPC implementation issues were addressed during the design of the software architecture, so that the same package runs on platforms ranging from serial desktop workstations through advanced HPC architectures. Our current efforts on higher-order modeling and improved solver libraries will be highlighted.
