Efield was started in 2006 based on the result from the General Electromagnetic Solvers project run by the Parallel and Scientific Computing Institute at KTH and Uppsala University. Efield develops and sells a comprehensive suite of software for large scale Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) problems with the same name as the company. Users are typically designers of complex products where electromagnetic properties are important. After only three years in operation we have a global user base. Important application areas are antenna design, antenna integration, microwave design, EMI/EMC interaction and radar cross section (RCS) analysis. Efield has solvers both in the frequency and the time domain integrated within a common user interface, and all the solvers run efficiently on parallel computers using OpenMP and/or MPI. Novel numerical methods based on domain decomposition and efficient hybrid techniques implemented in Efield makes it possible to solve more complex problems than ever before in CEM. Our role in the project is to be an end user with a deep knowledge of numerical methods for CEM and a clear need for more efficient development tools.
