ABSTRACT

Abstract

A virtual field simulation laboratory has been developed. The software has a graphical user interface front-end that resembles the settings of a measurement workbench. The interface consists of drafting windows for creating three-dimensional structures, signal generators for applying electrical stimulations, scopes and field visualization windows for measuring responses at arbitrary locations within the problem space. The software is totally event-driven and allows users to control the solution process interactively. The presentation focuses on the application of object-oriented design paradigm in the development process; particularly, in the areas of object abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. Furthermore, the software's event-driven control architecture, multi-thread simulation framework and interoperability with legacy circuit simulation tools, such as SPICE, will also be discussed.
