gd1's input is pure text.
You give gd1 the information about your problem in distinct sections.
The required information that you have to give gd1 is
- The name of the resultfile. (-general)
- The borders of the computational volume. (-mesh)
- The wanted mesh-spacing (-mesh).
- The boundary conditions at the borders of the computational volume.
(-mesh) (-fdtd/-ports)
- The description of the geometry.
(-brick, -gccylinder, -ggcylinder, -gbor, -stlfile, -geofunction, -transform)
- For an eigenvalue computation:
- The wanted number of frequencies. (-eigenvalues)
- An estimation of the highest frequency. (-eigenvalues)
- For a time domain computation:
- The location of ports. (-fdtd/-ports)
- The excitation. (-fdtd/-pexcitation, -fdtd/-lcharge)
- The minimal time to be simulated. (-fdtd/-time)
- The maximal time to be simulated. (-fdtd/-time)
The symbols in brackets above indicate in which section of gd1
you specify the required parameters.
