Antenna Solver, by Dr. David Fluckiger, calculates the current density and charges for general wire structures including surfaces. The Antenna Solver calculation engine (algorithms) are modeled directly on the public domain NEC2 code (Numerical Electromagnetics Code - Method of Moments) from the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. The original NEC2 code was written in FORTRAN, and that user interface is control card deck oriented. The NEC2 algorithms in Antenna Solver have been entirely rewritten in C++, using dynamic array allocation.

robust numerical algorithm, versatility for nearly any geometries, and good scalability of computing
resources as a function of simulation volume size. The disadvantages are numerical dispersion and
stability constraint due to the finite difference (FD) approximation to Maxwell's equations and
explicit time marching algorithm.

- ADF
- Antenna Design Framework (ADF) is a framework integrating several electromagnetic modeling methods in a homogeneous environment for antenna siting.
LC is a simulation tool for the analysis of the electromagnetic properties of electrical interconnects that runs on CRAY, SGI or LINUX/x86 workstations. The full three-dimensional circuit is modeled, so all interactions are automatically included in the solution. The model can be excited by numerous types of waveforms, and the transient response measured using common values such as voltage and current. Circuit parameters such as inductance, capacitance, and impedance can be derived from the transient response, and frequency-domain results such as S-parameters can also be calculated. Far field radiation patterns can be obtained.
LC is primarily an electromagnetic simulation and uses the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) technique. FDTD is a full wave explicit solution of Maxwell's equations in three dimensions. In FDTD, the rectangular volume enclosing the model is discretized into a large number of small cells, which may be uniformly-sized, or may vary in size within the simulation space. The dielectric, permeable, lossy, and conducting material properties of each cell are incorporated into the field updates, which are performed iteratively in small time steps.
An interface between the electromagnetic simulation and the circuit simulation program SPICE is available within LC. This allows the user to add arbitrary SPICE circuits, such as drivers and loads, into the interconnect model. The interconnect performance is calculated using the electromagnetic simulation, while the lumped-element circuits are evaluated by SPICE. Both simulations are performed in the time domain, and proceed in lock step.
