Is fdtd3d suitable for antenna design? #171

Hi, quick question: would this library be at all suitable for antenna design, or is the FDTD implementation primarily intended for different applications?

I do not have any experience related to antenna design, but you can specify your own geometry and pass .txt file as input to fdtd3d using --load-eps-from-file <path_to_file.txt> and similar options (see https://github.com/zer011b/fdtd3d/blob/master/Docs/Input-Output.md). Then FDTD simulation will be performed with this geometry.
