Have some large structures (5 foot long pipes, wr430 waveguide parts, feeds) That I need to do some emag analysis on. Have read thru many of the posts on this forum, but have a few questions:
It seems like large structures prefer an FDTD solver. But I have a waveguide feed illuminating the inside of a much bigger pipe. Can FDTD solvers handle waveguide ports, or do they need a voltage/current port as an input?
I am on a shoestring budget. Does someone make a fairly cheap FDTD solver that is relatively user friendly (ie import autocad files, or have easy to use drawing user inputs)? Am hoping for something free, or at most $2000 US.
Any suggestions?
