XFdtd® is a full wave electromagnetic solver based on the
Finite Difference Time Domain method. It is fully three-dimensional. Complicated CAD objects with thousands of
parts may be imported into XFdtd and combined and edited within XFdtd using the
internal graphical editor. RF designers
can import an electromechanical CAD file, improve the design using XFdtd, then
export the revised CAD file to reduce design time. Applications include microwave, RF, antennas,
scattering, biological EM including MRI and SAR, photonics, packaging, EMC, and
electromagnetic behavior of specialized materials.
XFdtd offers many important and unique
capabilities including Fast Meshing Algorithm, mesh preview before calculation,
a wide variety of complex electric and magnetic materials including nonlinear
and frequency-dependent, nonlinear device modeling including both diodes and
capacitors, anisotropic materials, and
many others. XFdtd is the only
commercial time domain solver with true MPI capability which allows large
problems to utilize the full capability of computer clusters. XFdtd supports XStream® hardware FDTD for
extremely fast calculations using the graphics processing units in high speed
video cards. No other EM software can
solve larger problems or solve them faster than XFdtd.
Latest Release
Remcom announces the release of XFdtd 6.5. XFdtd is a full wave 3D electromagnetic solver based on the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. Applications include microwave, RF, antennas, scattering, biological EM, photonics, packaging, EMC, and specialized materials. XFdtd 6.5 includes important industry-leading features from previous versions such as the patent-pending Fast Meshing Algorithm and both distributed memory MPI cluster computing and GPU hardware acceleration. In addition Version 6.5 offers many new features and improvements listed below. The features of XFdtd 6.5 are presented in
depth in this pdf overview 2.27 Mb. Alternatively you can view this overview as a flash presentation in the XFdtd Showcase.
