The time domain solver of CST Studio is used to simulate the numerical simulation of a pure metal plane. Emmanuel Perrin and others use electromagnetic simulation software to model and simulate the indirect effects of aircraft lightning.

Zemin Duan, Lifeng Luo and others give descriptions on lightning waveform and standards involved in lightning indirect effect test in detail. Hao Wen and Xiangru Teng study the division of the lightning attachment zone of the aircraft using the simulation software and conducting experiments. Some scholars have also done some research on the lightning effects of the aircraft. Problems can be timely found and measures can be taken in the lightning protection design process, which is very economic and essential.

The use of electromagnetic simulation software for the simulation of lightning effect saves a lot of cost. The test of lightning indirect effects costs a lot of manpower, financial, and material resources. Lightning causes the transient electromagnetic environment, and the interference signals are generated by the coupling of cables in machines, which lead to the dysfunction of the electronic equipment. Direct effects will cause physical distortion such as melt, breakdown, and structure deformation while indirect effects will cause the electrical performance failure or damage. Effects of lightning include direct effects (physical effects) and indirect effects (electromagnetic effects).

Lightning is a natural discharge phenomenon of high voltage and high current, which occurs about 8 million times a day in the earth's atmosphere.
