 To calculate electromagnetic field propagation we want to solve Maxwell'​s equations that link electric and magnetic field components and its time and space evolution. The basic idea being FDTD technique is a succesive update of electric and magnetic field components that are specially placed in the computational volume as shown on the following image: To calculate electromagnetic field propagation we want to solve Maxwell'​s equations that link electric and magnetic field components and its time and space evolution.

 Every computation step has two parts: Every computation step has two parts:
  
- *   ​Magnetic field components are updated from electric field components from the previous step. +  ​*   ​Magnetic field components are updated from electric field components from the previous step.

 For update of any component we need only surrounding field values which makes the method suitable for parallelization. For update of any component we need only surrounding field values which makes the method suitable for parallelization.
