GMES: A Python package for solving Maxwell’s equations using the FDTD method

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018) Abstract This paper describes GMES, a free Python package for solving Maxwell’s equations using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The design of GMES follows the object-oriented programming (OOP) approach and adopts a unique design strategy where the voxels in the computational domain are grouped and then updated according to its material type. This piecewise updating scheme ensures that GMES can adopt OOP without losing its simple structure and time-stepping speed. The users can easily ...

摘要：本文介绍了GMES——一款采用时域有限差分（finite-difference time-domain, FDTD）法求解麦克斯韦方程组的免费Python软件包。GMES的设计遵循面向对象编程（object-oriented programming, OOP）范式，采用了独特的设计策略：将计算域内的体素按材料类型分组后再进行更新。该分段更新方案确保了GMES在应用面向对象编程范式的同时，不会牺牲其结构简洁性与时步更新效率。用户可轻松……
