## About Tidy3D
Tidy3D is a software package for solving extremely large electrodynamics problems using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.




## Tidy3D Reviews
  ### 1. Tidy3D is a very clean and efficient way to do FDTD--all substance, little fluff.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**What do you like best about Tidy3D?**

Tidy3D is extraordinarily fast in both runtime (minutes to run calculations that would otherwise take days) and in scientist/engineer time w/ Python scripting. For a modest workload, it's also cheaper to pay for running the jobs you need rather than buying an entire license via a competitor like Ansys Lumerical.

**What do you dislike about Tidy3D?**

Tidy3D, still being a fairly new software, has some additional functionality to be developed. In just the past year, however, much has been added such as anisotropic material support.

**What problems is Tidy3D solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm using Tidy3D for simulating chiral nanophotonic systems, for which the software greatly improves on iteration time. Also, its scripting language makes it very easy to create many jobs for purposes such as scanning over parameter space and creating training data for machine learning purposes.
