SCUFF-EM Release Notes

SCUFF-EM 0.96 6/25/2018

  • Pre-release in anticipation of first official version 1.0 release

  • Added unit test suite, installed in $(PREFIX)/share/scuff-em/tests. --Tests currently implemented, and what they test: --Mie -- Core solver functionality (BEM matrix and RHS vector) for scattering from compact dielectric body -- Ccattered field components -- Induced dipole moments -- PFT algorithms: DSIPFT and EMTPFT --Fresnel -- Periodic boundary conditions, Ewald summation, acceleration via interpolation -- Direct computation of transmission/reflection coefficients from surface currents

  • Added high-level interface (libSCUFFSolver) -- revamped and modernized support for RF calculations -- More efficient handling of ports -- New algorithm for computing impedance (Z-) parameters -- Support for microstrip geometries via libSubstrate integration -- New tutorial examples of microstrip geometries, including python examples

  • Automatic detection of equivalent edge pairs, offering enormous speedup for highly structured meshes

  • Initial support for implicit dielectric substrates in full-wave calculations. -- Implemented by new lib/libSubstrate library

  • Support for geometries specified by GDSII files

  • New scuff-spectrum command-line application for computing resonant modes -- Uses Beyn algorithm for nonlinear eigenproblems, implemented by lib/libBeyn library
