CHRONOS Features

3D RF and microwave field solver for a diverse range of applications
Finite difference time domain solver
At no extra cost, our software packages include:
- Choice of solvers: to ensure you have the confidence in the right answer and for independent verification, BEM and FEM included in the same software package to suit your specific application needs. Not every solver fits every application, no "one size fits all".
- Choice of optimization tools: Parametric Analysis for those who need fast and easy optimization with a short learning curve. API and Scripting gives more power to advanced users. All available in the same package.
- Several material tables provide many integrated libraries. Customize and create your own library for easy access to the materials you use.
- Parallelization: when used on 64 bit computers permits full utilization of available RAM to dramatically increase speed of solution and post-processing.
Intuitive interface that can be easily customized according to user preferences (overall appearance, toolbars, solvers, backgrounds, defaults, etc).

Different methods of plane wave polarizations
Smart, transparent mesh generator combined with material identification code to improve the accuracy of the solution. The mesh is generated by placing finer grid in the areas which have fine features and then increasing and decreasing the cell sizes gradually between the different regions – while maintaining the accuracy
Solution for broadband and ultra-wide-band problems from a single execution of the problem using a short pulse
Special treatments to provide highly accurate field calculations
Transient field results
Transient signals used with E-field source, voltage and current sources, and lumped loads
A wide range of electric and magnetic fields, voltage, and current outputs
Input impedance, admittance, scattering parameters, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and Smith chart of s-parameter
Calculation of gain, directivity, radiation pattern and far zone field properties of antennas
High accuracy for a wide variety of RF and antenna problems
No storage in time and no matrix inversion are needed
Near-field and far-field results from a single run
Highly accurate field calculations at any surface
Variety of waveguide sources
Transform time domain results to frequency domain results
Modeling of inhomogenous structures and lumped elements
Permittivity, permeability and conductivity data stored in convenient and rapidly accessible tables

INTEGRATED includes the most appropriate solvers for each kind of application: different solvers accomplish different tasks in different ways. No "one size fits all".
Choice of solvers: to ensure you have the confidence in the right answer and for independent verification, BEM and FEM included in the same software package, at no extra cost, to suit your specific application needs.
Self-adaptive meshing or optional user refinement.
Periodic and symmetry features minimize modeling and solution time.

At no extra cost, INTEGRATED includes a variety of optimization tools in the same software package so you can find the one to best suit your particular design: Parametric Analysis, Scripting and API. The Parametric Analysis is the best tool for those who need fast and easy optimization with a short learning curve while API and scripting give more power to advanced users.
- Power parametric feature allows definition of variable parameters to be stepped through allowing the analysis of multiple "what-if" scenarios and facilitating design optimization.
- Scripting: virtually unlimited ability to explore design variations.

Create your own applications: write your own dedicated tools for specific tasks. Users can program and have full control of their custom electromagnetic application, while using INTEGRATED programs in the background.
INTEGRATED's API allows a variety of programs such as Matlab, Excel, and Microsoft Visual Studio to work with our software in an interconnected environment. Other software tools can be used with our API in the same way.
Add-on utility tools: select among our custom mini-programs to enhance your design capabilities.
Version 9.1 has the initial release of the INTEGRATED API, which provides another way to control the interface. Users with programming and/or scripting skills will find this is a very powerful tool.

Several material tables provide many integrated libraries. Customize and create your own library for easy access to the materials you use.

Audiovisual (AVI) files to show the results in an animation format.
A variety of display forms for plotting results, including scalar and vector field quantities such as graphs, contour, arrow, streamline, scatter and vector loci plots.
High quality graphics and text utility for preparation of reports and presentations.
Data exportable to formatted files for integration with spreadsheets and other software packages.
Wide array of post processing options for design evaluation and optimization.
Efficient use of parallel processing for post-processing operations.
A variety of display forms for far field results including contour or arrow plots, color bands, surface representations, polar, rectangular plots and 3D patterns.
