- Design techniques
LOCRAY
(Location of radiation sources)
The LOCRAY project represents a major step towards the emergence of an ecosystem around near-field emission measurements, by adding the link between investigative measurements (in the near-field) and qualification measurements (standardized).
The partners are world-renowned players in the field of EMC, at component, equipment and system level, and historically involved in the development of near-field measurement.
Objectives : From the design phase to production, the visual near-field approach is a technology used by non-specialists in electromagnetism for: technological choices, routing optimization, troubleshooting, obsolescence management, production control.
The 2 main areas of innovation are: 1) Predicting qualification measurements with data post-processing
2) Enhance measurement refinement to make it more accurate and usable in simulation

FORTISSIMO
(Factories of the Future Resources, Technology, Infrastructure and Services for Simulation and Modelling)
FORTISSIMO is a European project aimed at building and demonstrating a commercial HPC cloud to enable European industry, and especially SMEs, to benefit from the efficiency and competitive advantage inherent in the use of simulation.
The project is funded by the European Commission through the 7th Framework Programme and is part of the I4MS initiative.
As part of this project, Nexio was the leader of Experiment 513: "Cloud-based antenna and radar signature simulation".
A cloud-based HPC simulation offering on Bull's ExtremeFactory platform was implemented.
Lun'tech was able to use it to simulate the SER of reflectors based on Luneberg lenses and trihedral reflectors.
Partners: Lun'tech, Bull, Genci.
Start: 10/2014 - Duration: 18 months
CAPITOLE-EM
The aim of this project is to propose a breakthrough technology for electromagnetic simulation and modeling by combining 2 original and innovative methods from R&D projects, namely KRON and ACA.
The results of this project will be included in the CAPITOLE-EM software environment.
The 4 target applications are: the indirect effects of lightning on civil buildings and aircraft, the simulation and measurement of Radar Equivalent Surfaces (stealth targets, electromagnetic screens), the radiation from antennas and their near-field coupling, and the assessment of the internal environment of resonant cavities such as aircraft cabins or mode-shuffling reverberation chambers (CRBMs).
NEXIO is the project leader.
Partners: DGA, EADS IW
Start: 11/2012 - Duration: 24 months
SIMPLEX
(EM Simulation of Complex Systems - RAPID Project)
The aim of the RAPID SIMPLEXE (SImulation des SystèMes Complexes) project is to overcome the limitations of current simulation software by proposing innovative methods for solving electro-magnetic problems in complex civil and military systems.
Two strategic axes are being examined to optimize the trade-off between precision and computational resources in the analysis of complex systems: Decompose the system into sub-elements that are simpler to represent; Use an efficient simulation method for each element.
Partners: XLIM, ARIANEGROUP, C.DAVEAU, DASSAULT AVIATION, AIRBUS DS

SMART BUS ADAPTOR
(SBA)
As part of the AEROSAT 2012 program, and to take into account the new all-electric architecture introduced by EADS, the aim of this project is to design a generic module to interface current equipment, making it operable/reusable with future digital networks.
To be generic, the SBA module will have to recognize different buses (AFDX, ARINC, CAN) and adapt to different equipment (different sockets, different connections, etc.).
NEXIO brings its aeronautical EMC/Lightning expertise to the design and validation phases.
NEXIO is a member of the steering committee for this project, which is supported by STUDELEC.
Partners: LAAS-CNRS, SEFEE, STUDELEC.
Start: 11/2012 - Duration: 24 months
EFT-SAFE3A
(High-power, transient-robust electronic systems for aerospace and automotive applications)
The aim of the project is to build a common system co-design methodology, from chip to device, in order to accelerate the development of electronic systems while guaranteeing reliability and safety.
The different axes of the project are: to manage the electrical characteristics observed by passive components and active devices, in order to determine their destruction mechanism and their electrical characteristics.
understand and map the propagation paths of EFT disturbances within a chip.
provide guidelines and internal IC models to create more robust integrated circuits and develop safer applications.
propose new characterization and injection techniques to understand failure mechanisms at board level.
propose to standards committees (ESDA, IEC) measurement methods and behavioral modeling methodology at component and system levels.

SEISM
(Simulation of Emission and Immunity of Electronic Systems and Modules)
The aims of this project are to define new methodologies for EMC analysis when modifying a component, board or piece of equipment.
This project will: help develop "Virtual Prototyping" design of on-board electronics to reduce design and prototype development times; reduce the number of EMC requalification tests for equipment and systems, and hence the time and cost of these tests; reinforce "Virtual Testing" for the validation of these electronic modules, by defining standardized setup models; propose standards for electronic component/board/equipment models and their associated extraction methods.
