    How to use 3D FDTD code for 1D problem?

    Hello, I have a three dimensional FDTD code. The problem I have for simulation is one dimensional. How can I use this 3D FDTD code for the 1D problem. The 1D problem is like this: in one-dimension half of the problem space is filled with a dielectric medium and the other half is free-space. A...

    How to find Resonance frequency of rectangualr cavity from FDTD data

    Hello, I have written 3D FDTD code with Mur ABC which gives correct results for time domain data. Now I want to compute the resonance frequency of a rectangular cavity using this 3D FDTD code. I don't know how I will do that. Would someone please advise me the steps I need to follow now to...

    Fortran (Fortran) Does order of accessing a matrix affect the performance?

    Hello, In Fortran 90, will the performance (in terms of computational efficiency) of the following two be the same. If not, which one will be faster. Please advise with the reasoning: (i) do i = imin,imax do j = jmin,jmax do k = kmin,kmax Several statements (rigorous...

    How to Use AWK to Generate a Series of Numbers in a Shell Script

    Hi, I need to modify a shell script and add the following into it: location: 200 200 1 location: 200 200 2 location: 200 200 3 --------- --------- --------- location: 200 200 449 location: 200 200 500 I thought using some awk command one could produce the series...

    Mathematica Simplifying Large Algebraic Expressions to Neat Equations in Mathematica

    In mathematica FullSimplify[expression] is valid but is FullSimplify[expression=0] a valid expression or will it work as we expect (like what you explained). I tried but it didnot give any improvement... it simply showed the expression on left and zero on the right of the equal. Is there any...

    Mathematica Simplifying Large Algebraic Expressions to Neat Equations in Mathematica

    If I want to simplify an extremely large algebraic expression which equals zero to a simple neat equation -- how do I do that in Mathematica (or symbolic package of Matlab). Giving you an example of the equation below: (c1 (-1 + E^(I dx kx)) (-1 + v4))...

    MATLAB Using Matlab functions in Fortran -

    Hello, My work is on numerical techniques which require to solve sparse matrices etc. All my work is in fortran and I have almost no skill in Matlab.But I have just realized that Matlab can do some computations quite easily with its built-in functions and I want to take advantage of this. I...

    Mathematica Symbolic computation: Mathematica help

    Hi DaleSpam, Thanks a lot for replying. G is symbolic, algebraic and complex. It was obtained from some symbolic computation in Mathematica (at one stage to get G it involves matrix inversion ). Each column of 18x18 matrix G has roughly 9 zeroes, 1 one and rest of the elements (around 8 / 9 on...

    Mathematica Symbolic computation: Mathematica help

    Hi, I need to get a simplified equation by setting the determinant of the following expression to zero: exp(j.omega.dt). [I] - [G] Here, I is an 18x18 identity matrix and G is an 18x18 matrix that I got by doing some symbolic computation in Mathematica (in fact G is huge). Can anyone...

    MATLAB Matlab: how to extract blocks from a large matrix

    Hi, I have a 24000x24000 sparse matrix. I want to extract 4 blocks out of it; (0,0) to (6000,6000) (6001,6001) to (12000,12000) (12001,12001) to (18000,18000) (18001,18001) to (24000,24000) By use of those my aim is to make a block diagonal matrix using MATLAB command 'blkdiag' . Can...

    MATLAB Matlab problen with reading from files -

    That was extremely helpful. Thank you. As my file has 24000 data I could never see that '1.0 e -008 *' part on the top. I made my file shorter and found it there. Now after using 'format long eng' command before everything I got the data in Matlab that looks like in the file. Thank you so...
