Plasma Simulation Software
Voss Scientific provides high performance plasma physics simulation software, with its CHICAGO suite.
CHICAGO® is an advanced three-dimensional fully electromagnetic particle-in-cell (PIC) code designed for executing multi-scale, plasma physics simulations. The code calculates the interaction between charged particles (electrons and ions) and external and self-generated electric and magnetic fields. Advanced field solver techniques combined with multiple plasma models (quasi-neutral, inertial-fluid and fully-kinetic) allow CHICAGO to treat large spatial and temporal scales for modeling a wide range of plasma-based devices.

| CHICAGO® Features |
|
The CHICAGO suite consists of the Chicag-UI to input geometric and other parameters; the CHICAGO plasma physics modeling code which executes the simulation; and the Aurora graphical postprocessor for viewing and analyzing results.
- runs on Windows, Macs, Linux clusters, and advanced computer architectures;
- currently being optimized for GPU operation;
- supports solid object construction with permittivity, permeability, gas breakdown, including Solid Works import;
- has novel, published (400 publications) algorithms for explicit, implicit, and hybrid kinetic/fluid simulation.

CHICAGO® is a FDTD toolkit of field/particle advanced techniques for plasma simulation:
- Fully electromagnetic and relativistic, moving frame;
- 3D orthogonal grid 1st or 2nd order (partial-cell conformal boundaries with particles) surfaces.
- all plasma descriptions use PIC techniques, and can be combined in Hybrid operation;
- kinetic, multi-fluids (inertia and charge separation);
- Quasi-neutral with multiple ions, new Hall implementation.
