varFDTD100 - List of videos
This section contains the videos taken from the varFDTD 100 course on Lumerical University. varFDTD 100 is a self-paced introductory course on Lumerical's 2.5D variational FDTD solver that is part of MODE. This course is primarily intended for beginner to intermediate users, with a focus on providing practical examples to common tasks. It also explains how the 2.5D varFDTD solver differs from fully 3D FDTD simulations, what are the benefits, and when it should be used. The course builds on the knowledge obtained in FDTD 100.
