Integrated development environment to establish a digital thread in the lifecycle of a structural product

Abstract:

An apparatus for designing a structural product includes memory to store computer-readable program code for an integrated development environment to establish a digital thread in a lifecycle of the structural product, and processing circuitry to execute the computer-readable program code. The apparatus is thereby caused to generate a graphical user interface from which the integrated development environment is accessible to cause the apparatus to generate an electromagnetic effects (EME) model of the structural product from authoritative data including a solid model of the structural product, and parameterize the EME model with one or more electrical properties. The apparatus is caused to produce a computational electromagnetics (CEM) model of the structural product from the parameterized EME model, perform a CEM analysis from the CEM model to generate a corresponding solution is generated, and post-process the corresponding solution.
