Meep (or MEEP) is a free finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation software developed at MIT. It is rich in functionality with support for cartesian and cylindrical co-ordinate systems, non-linearities, periodic boundary conditions, field visualization and a variety of source excitations. The code is paralellizable with LAM-MPI.

MEEP is based on the discretization of the standard Yee cell with second order accurate centered finite differences of Maxwell's equations. Materials with anisotropy, gain and dispersive properties are supported. Currently, the front end is based on a C++ control file with a libctl front end near completion.
