Partial element equivalent circuit

The Partial Element Equivalent Circuit Method ( PEEC ) is a method for the computation of electromagnetic fields, especially in the vicinity of conductive structures. The basic idea is to model field problems by an electrical equivalent circuit picture and then solve using methods of network analysis in the time domain or the frequency domain. The strength of the method is that the electrical network representation of the field problem can be easily coupled with the simulation of real networks, such as to investigate the influence of a coupling of fields in an electronic circuit. An application to other physical domains is basically conceivable.

As the founder of the method applies Albert E. Ruehli.
