OpenModes
=========

A Method of Moments (Boundary Element Method) code designed to find the
modes of open resonators such as meta-atoms (the building blocks of
metamaterials), (nano) antennas, scattering particles etc. Using these
modes, broadband models of these elements can be created, enabling
excitation, coupling between them and scattering to be solved easily.
