Staircasing mesh algorithm for 2D and 3D primitives for FDTD and the generation of complex geometries

Author

Abstract

"EZ-FDTD kernel can support simulation on complex objects. Currently there are no built-in tools to model even a simple rectangular plane. Users need to model these types of simple objects manually, which is difficult and tedious. This research focuses on developing programs to create the primitives of some shapes in two and three dimensions. And finally, using these primitives to create more complex objects, the S-parameter results have been compared with HFSS and Microwave Studio"--Abstract, page iii.
