Summary of most noticeable changes for version 0.0.31:
-----------------------------------------------------
- nf2ff: calculate circular polarization
- improvements to calcPort
- allow 1D and 2D lumped ports
- improvements to SAR calculations
- curve primitives and port fixes & improvements
- FDTD operator now supports different material averaging methods
- support for full multi-polar Lorentz/Drude/Debye dispersive material types
- new ports for waveguides (rectangular and circular waveguides)
- improved PEC debugging
- improvements/simplifications in plotting far-fields (thanks to Stefan)
- new tutorials and examples
- many fixes and updates
Summary of most noticeable changes for version 0.0.30:
-----------------------------------------------------
- meshing improved with new detect edges and new smoothing capabilities
- new calcPort function for simplified port analysis
- cylindrical mesh improvement by considering 360° rotation symmetry
- support for harminv on all platforms
- update to auto-regressive model for voltage/current probes
- new SAR calculation options, incl. 1g/10g averaging
- support for a new primitive: polyhedron
- CAD import: STL/PLY surface solids supported (matlab: ImportSTL / ImportPLY)
- CAD export: STL/PLY export (using AppCSXCAD)
- lot of minor fixes and updates
Summary of most noticeable changes for version 0.0.29:
-----------------------------------------------------
- Cylindrical sub-grids now fully support alpha-graded meshes
- Property Electrode has been renamed to Excitation
This doesn't have any effect on the Matlab/Octave interface,
but old *.xml files cannot be run with a current openEMS/CSXCAD version.
- Overall memory usage reduced during pre-processing
- New excitation: Total-field/scattered field (TFSF)
- New tutorial on radar cross section on a metallic sphere using the TFSF excitation
- official support for 64-bit windows version
- check for engine extensions MPI compatibility
- CSXCAD: support for new CSXGeomPlot export options (see help for more infos)
