Conformal FDTD mesh
Conformal FDTD engine
- no time step reduction!
- correction of field singularities appearing at metal edges, corners, and wires
- unique models for curved boundaries
- automatic and adaptive (taking into account material parameters) mesh generation
- local mesh refinement option
- FDTD grid available for viewing
- actual FDTD mesh available for viewing
- conformal FDTD algorithm parameters available for viewing (useful for experienced users)
- accurate and stable conformal representation of curved metal boundaries
- higher-order modelling of media interfaces

Test FDTD mesh
An important tool for verification if the mesh used in simulation corresponds to the intentions of the user.
After opening the Test Mesh window we can see layer by layer how the FDTD grid has been created by the QW-Editor. For a cell pointed by a cursor, its position, cell type and filling media are shown in window status. More detailed information for each cell is provided by Media Info dialogue.
