Features

NekCEM is a high-fidelity electromagnetic solver that has been developed at Mathematics and Computer Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory. It's an open source code, based on the core structure of his incompressible Navier-Stokes solver Nek5000[1], written by Misun Min, Jing Fu, Andreas Kloeckner in 1996-2011, with technical input from P. Fischer [2]. NekCEM is open source, written in Fortran and C, using MPI for parallel communication.

The code targets predicting optimal designs of next-generation electromagnetic devices such as accelerator components for the International Linear Collider or the Large Hadron Collider, nanosensors for molecular detection, and photovoltaic solar cells with high energy-conversion efficiency to run on advanced computer architectures.
