# Advanced

Advanced settings are grouped into simulation solver controls, material-interface subpixel averaging, and RF-specific terminal component modeler options.

# Simulation

Simulation describes FDTD solver settings from tidy3d.Simulation (opens new window), including shutoff, Courant factor, normalization, and precision.

# Subpixel Averaging

Subpixel Averaging describes subpixel settings from tidy3d.SubpixelSpec (opens new window), with separate pages for dielectric, metal, lossy metal, PEC, and PMC interfaces.

# TerminalComponentModeler

TerminalComponentModeler describes RF-specific options from tidy3d.rf.TerminalComponentModeler (opens new window), including excitation assumptions, S-parameter definition, selected runs, skipped elements, and source-time controls.
