Conformal FDTD package development based on ACIS and HOOPS

Abstract

In this paper, we present one advanced technique that is applied to create a robust conformal FDTD software package based on two most popular development tools, namely, ACIS and HOOPS. We first introduce the basic features of ACIS and HOOPS, then describe the key techniques and structures used in the conformal FDTD package, and finally present two illustrative examples to validate the software package.
