Feko is a computational electromagnetics software product developed by Altair Engineering. [3] The name is derived from the German acronym "Feldberechnung für Körper mit beliebiger Oberfläche", which can be translated as "field calculations involving bodies of arbitrary shape". [4] It is a general purpose 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulator.
FEKO originated in 1991 from research activities of Dr. Ulrich Jakobus at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. [5] Cooperation between Dr. Jakobus and EM Software & Systems (EMSS) [6] resulted in the commercialisation of FEKO in 1997. [7] In June 2014, Altair Engineering acquired 100% of EMSS-S.A. and its international distributor offices in the United States, Germany and China, leading to the addition of FEKO to the Altair Hyperworks suite of engineering simulation software. [6] [8] [9] [10]
The software is based on the Method of Moments (MoM) integral formulation of Maxwell's equations [11] [12] [13] [14] and pioneered the commercial implementation of various hybrid methods such as:
A Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) solver was added in May 2014 with the release of FEKO Suite 7.0. [17]
