The title of this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EM_simulation_software, is EM Simulation Software. However, every technical definition of simulation involves time, and I don't think any of these programs involve time. The programs will allow one to calculate expected performance of antennas, other EM devices by mathematically modeling the device and using EM tools and computers. But none of this involves time.

From trurle: fix of page

Some of EM simulators do include time, i.e. FDTD algorithms. Some others are not (frequency-domain simulators). Frequency is the reciprocal of time, so technically the simulation results in time and frequency domains are interchangeable. The page has become obscure and devoid of FDTD simulators after The Banner user has arbitrarily deleted many entries. I has reverted his edits, so it must be fine now.

What I removed, was exactly conform Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists. Read that guideline first before continuing please! The Banner talk 06:46, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of this page

This article is not a reliable source of information. First of all it is more an overview than a comparison. Whether or not the listed properties of the softwares are relevant for a system/software decision is questionable. Secondly, the continous editing work of The Banner has stripped it from many relevant offers in this area, so that, as a result, the list has became biased and has actually adopted a more dramatic "advertising" flavour than ever before. I do work for one of those left out companies and have a quite decent overview over the relevant players in this market. The persistence of The Banner in editing this article makes me believe that further edits to this article from others are pointless. Therefore i would like to ask for a deletion of this article Martin Timm (talk) 15:35, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nice try to blame me for the state of this article. Unfortunately, the problem is the lack of articles to list. Write an article about a certain package of EM simulation software and I will not touch it. So the issue is just: Write The Article First. As the article is about "notable software packages", red linked articles without article are deemed not notable and will be removed. The Banner talk 16:06, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
