Wakis allows to simulate materials with anisotropic permittivity, permeability and conductivity that do not depend on frequency. To extend the applicability range of Wakis, while keeping the computational resources reasonable, 2 major implementations are needed:

  • Subpixel smoothing (as done in MEEP) for partially-filled computational cells: to better represent materials at CAD solid edges--especially at curved edges.
  • Surface impedance boundary condition (SIBC) for highly conductive materials: to avoid meshing with the skin depth accuracy while still reproducing the lossy behaviour.
