3D design suite for RF electric fields in conductive/dielectric media. RFE3 handles any user-specified geometry. The package includes Geometer (an interactive environment for visualizing and building three-dimensional structures), MetaMesh (automatic generator for conformal hexahedron meshes), the RFE3 solution engine and RFE3View (a comprehensive post-processor for solution exploration, numerical analysis and plot generation). Applications to electrosurgery, RF material processing and geological measurements.

Function

Three-dimensional RF electric fields in biological media and resistive materials

Description
RFE3 calculates RF electric fields in resistive media. The program employs finite-element methods for high-accuracy. The package includes RFE3View, an interactive analysis program to find spatial variations of the amplitude and phase of electric fields and current. RFE3 has application to areas such as industrial RF treatments, geological measurements and biomedical procedures.
