Abstract :
EIGERtrade is a general-purpose, 3D frequency-domain electromagnetics code suite consisting of a pre-processor (Jungfrau), the physics code (EIGER), and post processor (Moench). In order to better enable collaborative development, EIGERtrade version 2.0 has been approved for release as open source software under a GNU Public License. EIGERtrade is primarily an integral-equation code for both frequency-domain electromagnetics and electrostatics. This version includes the following Green´s functions: 2D and 3D free space, symmetry-planes, periodic and layered media. There is a thin-wire algorithm as well as junction basis functions for attachment of a wire to a conducting surface, and also thin-slot models for coupling into cavities. The code is written in Fortran 90 using object-oriented design and has the capability to run both in parallel and serial.
