Patent ID: 7987076

Claim:
An electromagnetic field simulation program storage medium that stores an electromagnetic field simulation program which when executed on a computer, causes the computer to perform a method of iteratively calculating a spatial distribution of an electromagnetic field in each different time using a spatial distribution of the electromagnetic field at a known time, the method comprising: setting a space grid and a time step to be used in the iterative calculation of the electromagnetic field; setting coefficients of equations at various positions in a space targeted for iterative calculation, based on electromagnetic physical properties; setting a position and a first amplitude of a wave source of the electromagnetic field as a boundary condition with respect to a spatial distribution of the electromagnetic field; calculating a second amplitude of an electromagnetic field component to be applied to the position of the wave source during the iterative calculation, before the iterative calculation is executed, based on the space grid and the time step and the electromagnetic physical properties, so that at the position of the wave source, the first amplitude is reproduced as results of the iterative calculation; and executing the iterative calculation while applying a sum of the electromagnetic field component of the second amplitude and an electromagnetic field component propagating from outside the source, to the position of the wave source.
