Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the field of electrical engineering, engineers who understand electric and magnetic phenomena are required. However, the phenomena are invisible and difficult to understand for beginners. In this research, we proposed an educational simulator to visualize an electromagnetic field in a three dimensional virtual reality (VR) field.
We developed a finite-difference-time-domain electromagnetic field simulation system. In this research, GPU programming is attached to the system for improving the simulation speed. By using more than 100 GPU threads, the speed was reduced to 0.1 second per time step, and it is suitable for education. Furthermore, the electric circuit simulation model consisting of a parallel plate capacitor and DC voltage supply was developed and applied for education. As a result, good comments for the developed VR system are obtained.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、教育に適用可能な低価格の電磁界シミュレーションシステムの提案を行うことができ、また、GPUプログラミング技術の導入によるシミュレーション時間の短縮を行い、その実用性を高めることができた。また、提案するシステムについて、教育への適用した際の効果についても有効性があることを示した。
