Flexibility & speed
efield® is based on a hybrid approach. Different numerical methods can be applied to specific parts of the computation domain. Accurate methods can be used where it is really needed, and less accurate methods in the major part of the computational domain for increasing speed. Much larger problems than before can be solved with good accuracy. efield® is the first commercial software offering hybrid methods in both frequency-domain and time-domain.
- The time domain solver combines the Finite Differences Time Domain (FDTD) method on structured grids with a Finite Element Time Domain (FETD) method on unstructured grids
- The frequency domain solver uses the efficient multilevel fast multipole method (MLFMM) in combination with Physical optics (PO) to solve larger problems than ever before
efield® architecture
efield® includes an environment for High Performance Cluster Computing (HPCC) with parallelized solvers for distributed and shared memory multi-processor architectures. The software is well structured, portable, and can be run on PC:s as well as on strongly parallelized supercomputers. The software is available both in Linux and Windows.
efield® facilitates import of native geometry data from all common CAD systems or standard file formats. efield® includes tools for model repair and preparation alternatively tools for building a CAD models from scratch.
