Anyone know some decent free software for simulating microwaves in full detail? Ideally I'd like to input autocad drawings to it, of metallic structures, and see the power distribution in 3D.

"Free software" for microwave simulation refers to computer programs that are available for use and modification at no cost. This software is often developed by a community of volunteers and is licensed so that anyone can access, use, and modify the source code. This allows for greater flexibility and customization for users.
The primary benefit of using free software for microwave simulation is that it is easily accessible and can be used by anyone, regardless of their budget. Additionally, since the source code is open, users can modify and adapt the software to fit their specific needs. This also allows for faster development and bug fixes, as the community of users can collaborate and contribute to the software's improvement.
One potential limitation of using free software for microwave simulation is that it may not have as many features or capabilities as paid software. Additionally, since it is often developed by a community of volunteers, there may be less support and documentation available compared to paid software.
Yes, free software for microwave simulation can be used for commercial purposes. However, it is important to carefully review the software's license to ensure that it allows for commercial use and any necessary attribution or sharing of modifications.
There are several websites and repositories where you can find free software for microwave simulation, such as GitHub, SourceForge, and the Open Source Microwave Analysis and Design (OSMAD) project. It is also helpful to search for specific software or keywords related to microwave simulation on search engines or forums to find additional options.
