With the software you can easily create movies and save your field data. Perfectly matched layer (PML) boundary conditions as well as different current like sources are included. Underneath, the interactive FDTD toolbox is implemented after a matrix-based algorithm according to Yee's FDTD-Method allowing easy parallelization. Nonetheless the program works very efficient, accurate and reliable. Geometrical structures are set via draggable forms which makes the program very intuitive and easy to use. It was designed for the purpose of education and learning since no further knowledge of MATLAB or computational physics is required.
It is written by Sören Schmidt and written to work with MATLAB (©). The software is embedded in a graphical user interface in which all the simulation parameters are defined. The interactive FDTD toolbox is a simulation software to model and simulate two dimensional optical systems in TE-Polarization. the program is written for 2D simulation, with suitable modification, the program can be implemented to 3D problem. It was designed for the purpose of education and learning since no further knowledge of MATLAB or computational physics is required. the program simulates the scattering of 1GHz electromagnetic wave by the cylindrical object. It is written by Sören Schmidt and written to work with MATLAB(©). The interactive FDTD toolbox is a simulation software to model and simulate two dimensional optical systems in TE-Polarization. With the freely available interactive FDTD toolbox you can simulate and visualize the electromagnetic field in a structured material such as a photonic crystals, waveguides or investigate refraction at dielectric boundaries and diffraction in free space.
