abstract = {This paper discusses the influence of simplifications in models used in the design of
electromagnetic protection against indirect effects of lightning strikes. A real and complex test case
such as the power plant of an A400M aircraft, simulated with the FDTD method, is chosen for this.
The parameters studied are the inclusion/removal of installations, modification of electrical contacts,
material properties, and changes in the cable characteristics. The simulations performed allow us to
quantify the impact of different simplification approaches and, in consequence, to draw conclusions
on the relative importance of different model features, being the most important ones to maintain
the electrical contacts, to include installations and cables carrying high currents, to consider different
materials, to respect the accurate cable routes or to take care of isolated equipment.},
