A System Data File and Handler for the Electromagnetic Compatibility/Intrasystem Analysis Program

This paper discusses the System Data File (SDF) and System File Handler (SFH) developed for implementation with the RADC Electromagnetic Compatibility/Intra-system Analysis Program (EMC/IAP). The SDF provides a source of input data for any of the various EMC/IAP computer programs (e.g., IEMCAP, GEMACS, etc.) as required for a particular EMC analysis problem. The SFH has the capability of building and editing hierarchical structured sequential files. The SFH aids the user to interface the SDF with the EMC/IAP program. These developments will provide the users of the EMC/IAP with a significant increase in data handling capability and an interface for an intra-system EMC analysis.
