=== Modeling Lumped Elements in EM.Picasso ===
Lumped elements are components, devices, or circuits whose overall dimensions are very small compared to the wavelength. As a result, they are considered to be dimensionless compared to the dimensions of a mesh cell. In fact, a lumped element is equivalent to an infinitesimally narrow gap that is placed in the path of current flow, across which the device's governing equations are enforced. Using Kirkhoff's laws, these device equations normally establish a relationship between the currents and voltages across the device or circuit. Crossing the bridge to Maxwell's domain, the device equations must now be cast into a from o boundary conditions that relate the electric and magnetic currents and fields. EM.Picasso allows you to define passive circuit elements: '''Resistors'''(R), '''Capacitors'''(C), '''Inductors'''(L), and series and parallel combinations of them.

{{Note|The impedance of the lumped circuit is calculated at the operating frequency of the project using the specified R, L and C values. As you change the frequency, the value of the impedance that is passed to the Planar MoM engine will change.}}
