inhomogeneous materials in hfss
Dear all members,
I'd like to learn some software to simulate metamaterials and scattering problems, but there are so many kinds of softwares, like HFSS, CST. So I need your recommendation, thanks!
I know there are many people using HFSS and CST to simulate metamaterials. Which one is better in this field?
As for scattering problems, maybe I need the ability to model prescribed anisotropic and inhomogeneous materials, PMLs around the computational domain. Furthermore, I want to use an obliquely incident plane wave as excitation. Actually these things are what I need for one of my recent projects. I'm using COMSOL Multiphysics, where an obliquely incident plane wave is impossible (at least no solution up to now), then I must turn to other softwares.
Thanks for any reply!
Best regards!
