THE NEED
To develop an integrated modeling and simulation environment for the development of magnetic amplifiers for instrumentation and battery-charge management used in NGST spacecraft

THE SOLUTION
Simplorer�, Maxwell� 3D

Paul Tsutsumi, Don Baxter, and David Nguyen, of Northrop Grumman, discussed how they use Simplorer and Maxwell at the 2003 Aerospace Power & Electronics Simulation Workshop, sponsored by NASA, Cleveland State University, and Ansoft.

In their presentation, they wrote, �Modern modeling and simulation capabilities promise a wealth of benefits.� They go on to list four key advantages:

A deeper understanding of complex systems
Cost benefits from integrating lower-level models from component suppliers into higher-level models
Early prediction of anomalous behavior
Decreased development time through the use of existing models
