A practical guide to 3-D simulation

This article is intended to give design engineers an overview over some properties of numerical methods used in today's most relevant commercial electromagnetic (EM) simulation tools. It cannot and does not want to be a rigorous analysis of the methods themselves nor a concise description of their history.
