# FDTD

An FDTD simulation object enables users to configure simulation parameters, define model structures (including different geometries and materials), and specify sources and monitors.

# Configuration

Configuration of the FDTD simulation parameters:

# Structures

structures: List of structures present in simulation.

Note: Structures defined later in this list override the simulation material properties in regions of spatial overlap.

See: Structure

# Sources

sources: List of electric current sources injecting fields into the simulation.

Options:

# Monitors

monitors: List of monitors in the simulation. Note: monitor names are used to access data after simulation is run.

Options:

# Script Objects

Script Objects is a powerful tool to give GUI users the same flexibility shown by the python interface to create complex structures, set up sources, and define monitors.
