TOYFDTD1 is a stripped-down minimalist, 3D FDTD code demonstrating the basic tasks in implementing a simple 3D FDTD simulation. An idealized rectangular waveguide is modeled by treating the interior of the mesh as free space and enforcing PEC conditions on the faces of the mesh. A simplified plane wave source is inserted at one end. First released 12 April 1999. Version 1.03 released 2 December 1999.
This simple simulation of a pulse traveling down a parallel-plate guide makes a handy test code for initial experiments with boundary conditions. ToyFDTD3 adds some simple features to ToyFDTD1: A PMC boundary condition, a sinusoidal pulse source, and output tracking a single point in the mesh. Released 15 June 1999.
