Faraday Cages ( advanced concepts )

AI Thread Summary
There are several computer software options available for simulating Faraday cages, with a variety of electromagnetic simulation tools listed online. While many of these packages can be moderately expensive, some alternatives may offer more affordable solutions. Users are encouraged to explore Google search results for specific software that allows for the creation and simulation of custom Faraday cage shapes. Popular industry-standard packages like ANSYS are mentioned, but there are also less costly options worth considering. Overall, the discussion highlights the availability of tools for simulating Faraday cages tailored to various shielding applications.

Hello there, is there any computer software or programs out there that you can create various Faraday cages simulations

The application is anything you want to shield from Radio F etc, Just wanted to know if there is a basic computer software out there that , you just create any shape of the Faraday cage you required and simulate it.

Did you look at the Google hit list yet? There are 3-4 main simulation packages that are popular...
 
Yeah I did, and thanks for using your time. Be my guest if you want to use more :D

Here's a bit more, and perhaps closer to what you want... I googled Faraday Cage Simulation, and got some good hits. Especially some software possibilities that may be less expensive than the main industry standard packages like ANSYS:

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
