Waveller Electromagnetics
The first results using Waveller Electromagnetics are available in article Solving Maxwell's Equations Using the Ultra Weak Variational Formulation and in the screenshots-section. The mathematical formulation of Waveller Electomagnetics is extremely useful for solving electromagnetic field related wave problems in many application fields. We are currently seeking collaborators for developing a COMSOL plug-in for Waveller Electromagnetics.

August 12th 2005

Our development efforts have concentrated on implementing Waveller as a plug-in solver to Femlab. This enables the user to create or import geometries using Femlab's GUI as well as setting material and solver properties, then using Waveller to compute the result, and finally to visualize the result using Femlab's versatile plotting options. More information is available on Femlab plug-in-section.
