In a nutshell, semba-fdtd capabilities are
-
Cluster working capabilites through MPI.
-
Multiple threads per processor through OpenMP.
-
Closed/symmetric problems by means of PEC and PMC conditions.
-
Open problems by means of PML boundary conditions (CPML formulation) or by Mur ABCs.
-
Non-uniformly meshed domains by means of rectilinear (or graded) meshes.
-
Bulk lossless and lossy dielectrics.
-
Materials with frequency dependent relative permittivity and/or permeability, with an arbitrary number of complex-conjugate pole-residue pairs.
-
Bulk anisotropic lossless and lossy dielectrics.
-
Equivalent models of multilayered skin-depth materials.
-
Branched multiwires.
-
Multiconductor transmission lines networks embedded within 3D FDTD solvers.
-
Coupling with SPICE solvers (ngspice).
-
Junctions of wires of different radii.
- Junctions of multiwires.
- Wire bundles.
- Loaded with p.u.l resistance and inductance wires.
- Grounding through lumped elements.
-
Plane-wave illumination with arbitrary time variation.
-
Multiple planewaves illumination for reverberation chamber modeling.
-
Hertzian dipole sources.
-
Equivalent Huygens surfaces.
-
Time, frequency and transfer function probes.
-
Near-to-far field transformation.
Compilation and debugging instructions can be found here.
The main binary is semba-fdtd which uses the SMBJSON format as input files.
It can be run with
semba-fdtd -i CASE_NAME.fdtd.jsonTests must be run from the root folder. python wrapper test assumes that semba-fdtd has been compiled successfully and is located in folder build/bin/. For intel compilation it also assumes that the intel runtime libraries are accessible.
