Explore the Poisson Superfish Code

[azart]

hello,

I want to know that the poisson superfish code uses finite difrerence method or finite element method?

Hi azart,

I've thought poisson superfish uses a "FDM-like" process to build the linear equation system and from thereon proceeds using Gauss-Seidel & SOR to solve it. Am bit out of my field here (perhaps someone else isn't) but my "FDM-like" stems from the age of the code (isn't the core quite a "classic") so the underlying mesh building tools would resemble FDM rather than FEM (in reality probably in between, can solve the Poisson equation in 'fairly many' valid ways). Perhaps someone who is really familiar with this has a better idea and can correct my ramblings .

I can provide some information about the Poisson Superfish Code. This code uses the finite element method to solve problems related to electromagnetic fields. The finite element method is a numerical technique that breaks down a complex problem into smaller and simpler elements, allowing for efficient and accurate solutions. It is widely used in engineering and science for solving problems in various fields, including electromagnetics. The Poisson Superfish Code utilizes this method to accurately model and analyze electromagnetic fields, making it a valuable tool for researchers and engineers in this field. I hope this helps answer your question.
