  23. CONCLUSIONS • Electromagnetic simulations in (large) automotive environments, using low cost computational tools are practically possible. • The agreement between calculations and measurements is satisfactory • Electric field intensity varies a lot depending on source location and environment conditions for interior sources where multipath propagation, reflections and scattering are present. • Numerical methods can be applied to both radiation and couplingproblems inside a vehicle. Computation of voltages induced on wires or transmission lines produced by electromagnetic sources in the near field of the receiving wire and under the singular conditions of an almost-closed structure are possible. • Any FDTD code can produce useful results, that can be compared to experimental measurements, if simple rules are used for the modelling and theuncertaintyof the measurements is taken into account for the comparison.
