This work presents a new computational methodology, for the attesting practices of soil bedding by the method of Wenner and the calculation of earth resistance by method Volt-ammeter. This methodology allows the grounding planner system evaluate his acting accurately and propose solutions that assist the requirements of economy and safety. The calculation base that relates the electric and magnetic fields is the differential equations of Maxwell, which, although concise and very elegant, are from difficult resolution in real problems of engineering. That is due to the fact that, in the real cases, the resolution is in a continuous domain and of complex geometry. The method FDTD transforms these differential equations, at continuous domain, in algebraic equations through the domain division in study. This transformation in algebraic equations in the whole divided domain takes to a principal system of great dimensions (dozens to hundreds of thousands of lines and columns), which, once resolved, it leads to the intended results that are written in a system of general coordinates and resolved numerically. In the method FDTD are used numeric field map techniques for determination of electric and magnetic fields, which allows the knowledge of current diffusion along the studied region. The region of grounding influence (analysis domain) is divided in small cells in the form of hexahedrons, making possible the calculation of the fields in their faces. A powder-processing work allows mapping the fields and currents distribution for the whole domain. As result, are obtained tension, current and grounding resistance values in the whole analysis domain. The code computacional used to model the resistance problem of a grounding and simulation of the method of Wenner, was developed in FORTRAN and implemented to be executed using parallel computation in cluster type Beowulf 10 knots, where the results were compared with analytical methods that already exist in the literature and are presented in the chapter VI.
