XGSA TD

Transient Coupling & Field Propagation in Time Domain

XGSA TD simulates electromagnetic field transients, coupling over time, and induced surges in infrastructure systems. Evaluate impulse responses, lightning-induced transients, bonding vs routing dynamics, and shielding performance.

Time-Domain Capabilities

What you can do with XGSA TD

Simulate transients, impulse coupling, shielding response and field propagation over time.

Transient Field Propagation

  • Impulse & step response in soil and air
  • Propagation delays, reflections & wavefronts

Coupling & Induced Surges

  • Lightning and switching surge coupling to pipelines, rails, cables
  • Injected waveforms and propagation along conductors

Shielding & Mitigation

  • Surge arresters, shields, routing & periodic bonds
  • Transient suppression and overvoltage control

Scope & Technical Coverage

AreaDetails
Propagation Time-domain wave propagation, skin effect, dispersion, reflections and traveling wave dynamics in conductors and earth return.
Surge Coupling Direct and inductive coupling from lightning/switching events to pipelines, rails, cables; surge paths, shielding, ground potentials.
Inputs Geometry & topology, soil dielectric parameters, source waveform/time profile, terminations, bonds/shields and routing.
Outputs Transient voltages/currents vs time, waveforms, induced surges, field time profiles, compliance envelopes.
Integration Complements GSA, GSA FD, XGSA FD for frequency behavior, NETS for network coupling, and SHIELD for final mitigation design.

Prefer frequency or steady-state focus? Use GSA or GSA FD. For TD coupling, use XGSA_TD.
