Abstract
In this paper it is presented the software tool LMAT_SIMEL, the Electric Field numerical calculator for the package LMAT_SIMEX that allows the calculation and simulation of ELF electric and magnetic fields emanated from very high voltage power lines.
The electric field is calculated using a 3D integral numerical approach and makes use of the image method. The catenary of the Line(s) approached by straight lineal segments, where each segment makes a contribution to the electric field at point of analysis and each segment is considered as a filamentary wire. The Lines in analysis can have different configurations and orientations and the field solution can be expressed in terms of the resultant components in the x, y, z direction due to each separate line or all the Lines. The influence of vegetation and terrain elevations is not taken into consideration.
This software was developed in MATLAB environment is very easy to use and has a user friendly interface.
