| Intended users | The project describes FDTDX as freely usable for research, development, and commercial work involving photonic nanostructures. | The documentation describes using filling simulations during mould design to study inlet and vent placement and avoid incomplete filling or trapped air. |
| Purpose | FDTDX is an open-source Python package for simulating and designing three-dimensional photonic nanostructures with the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method. | RTMsim is a Julia module for simulating resin transfer mould filling. |
