  Description     : Electromagnetic field solver using the FDTD method

OpenEMS is a free and open electromagnetic field solver using the FDTD method.
Matlab or Octave are used as an easy and flexible scripting interface.

It features:

 - fully 3D Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates graded mesh.
 - Multi-threading, SIMD (SSE) and MPI support for high speed FDTD.


There are already two packages in Debian which offer similar functionality
(meep and tessa), but openEMS has an easier interface via Octave/Matlab and is
much more actively being developed.

I plan to maintain it as part of the Debian Science team.
