Development of a computational environment for MIT electromagnetic equation propagation simulator

In this work, a high-level computational environment has been developed for the MIT Electromagnetic Equation Propagation (MEEP) software. Pre-processing and post-processing features have been implemented through the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) framework, in order to provide new graphical features for MEEP. An interactive user interface is available to make a scripting-free MEEP usage. Software engineering techniques have been employed in order to provide a reusable, maintainable, extendable, and integrable software system. Tests show an elaborate electromagnetic simulation scenario in the pre-processing stage, as well as bi-dimensional movies and interactive three-dimensional plan cuts in the post-processing phase.
