CELES Changelog

Testing

Added

H field calculation
Poynting vector plotting
benchmark simulation script and data for MSTM
dedicated initialField.type for plane waves (previously a Gaussian beam with infinite waist)

Changed

naming of output methods are now specific for E and H fields
the focalPoint parameter of initialField renamed to referencePoint

Unreleased

2.2 - 2021-04-13

Changed

subclass celes classes from matlab.System
implement setProperties methods for name-value style initialization
implement validatePropertiesImpl methods for validation
limit use of Dependent properties to avoid redundant calculations
implement setupImpl where appropriate for one-time calculations to improve performance
compute and set maximal particle distance inside particles class
prefer implicit expansion over bsxfun (requires MATLAB >= R2016b)
fancier, faster plotting functions
use convex hull in compute_maximal_particle_distance
provide robust, fallback method for compute_maximal_particle_distance
avoid recompiling .mex files if already available

Fixed

don't try to compute initial power for plane waves
fix bug in scattered field plots

2.0 - 2017-09-22

Added
