Abstract: This study deals with the development of a simulation software that contains graphic presentations and clear interactions with the user to facilitate the input data and the understanding of the results presented in the simulation of biological systems under influence of electromagnetic fields. The software uses the model developed by Ramos et al. (2000, 2001) for the numeric analysis of the space distribution of electric field and density of ionic loads in biological tissues, based on the Equivalent Circuit Method (ECM) . This mathematical model is a tool to investigate inhomogeneous and anisotropic environment. It is divided in two parts: the cell and tissue scale. For this work we present the equivalent circuit method for cell scale model. The knowledge of numeric solutions that solve the implications of the effects of the magnetic fields in biological systems can elucidate the phenomena involved in the experimental results, besides the reduction of the risks involved in researches with being alive, once we can through the program to have a planning of the experimental and therapeutic studies.
