MacFDTD Description

MacFDTD is a great silicon optics layout but also simulation program. Macintosh silicon layout and simulation software. Create semiconductor and optical circuit designs, and test them out before fabrication.Main features of MacFDTD:Basic layout abilites, 5-function variable equation support, and basic GDSII format exporting.Full support for saving and loading files associated with the .fdtd extension. This is an format I've introduced just for this program.Multiple documents are working, so there can be multiple schematics being worked on at the same time.The best thing about the 2nd release is that both Layout Index profiles and Layout Permeability profiles are now working.Toghether with the updated animation window, MacFDTD also features a preliminary simulation engine.The simulation engine cannot yet properly support some materials and sources, and sensors are not yet implemented, so results are purely qualitativeA new format for saving & loading simulations, note that its incompatible with the previous saved simulations.There is now slight support for extending simulations, so a simulation can be loaded, then pick up where you left off. This is still incomplete.internal changes for code maintenance and performance.Better support for indexes, permeabilities, conductivities, with profilesSnap-to-grid, and revert to selection cursor optionsSimulations can be cancelled while runningClipboard functionality, shape rotations, tooltips, and the duplicate & delete toolsFull layout scripter, with no arcane typing, just an easy-to-use clickable interfaceThere is a demo script hosted on the dev pageA plugin system has been added for analyzing results, and included is a basic E-field plotter. Rest assured, I will have better plugins coming along. What's New in This Release: Full GDSII importing support: paths! Exponential, not linear zooming Auto-fit to layout button Far better plugin support
