Multiphysics Modeling Simplifies Analysis of Electrical and Electromagnetic Effects

The Saab Group has 17 business units, which are split into defense and security, systems and products, and aeronautics. Over the years, the company has taken advantage of the many paradigm shifts that have taken place in engineering analysis. One example is implementing comprehensive engineering methodologies that combine traditional experiments and testing with newer tools such as computer modeling and simulation. In the 1980s, Saab began applying large-scale computer simulations, which were used to verify the lightning-protection components in the wings of the Gripen fighter aircraft.
