This report covers the work performed in support of the ASC Integrated Codes FY20 Milestone 7179. For the Milestone, Sandia's Xyce analog circuit simulator was enhanced to enable a loose coupling to Sandia's EIGER electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool. A device was added to Xyce that takes as its input network parameters (representing the impedance response) and short-circuit current induced in a wire or other element, as calculated by an EM simulator such as EIGER. Simulations were performed in EIGER and in Xyce (using Harmonic Balance analysis) for a variety of linear and nonlinear circuit problems, including various op amp circuits. Results of those simulations are presented and future work is also discussed.
