Was a great tool, when it was working. Unfortunately, it seems to be choking on the near-field calculation. The system will hang with no clear error message.
Developers are apparently AWOL. Multiple queries to the developers through the nanoHub ticketing system have gone unanswered.
It seems as though this tool is dead, or at least not being supported any more. Well, it was fun while it lasted guys!

Excellent tool. However, there is a mistake in Ellipsoid example simulation. In the .par file, the effective radius should only vary according to the geometry. But I found that it actually varies when number of dipoles changes. Hope this could be modified in future release.

Thanks for the feedback. I reviewed the ellipsoidal shape default input. The effective radius listed in the ddscat.par file did not change when the dipole density was changed (e.g. from 1/nm to 2/nm). Could you do us a favor and point us to where you found the discrepancy. We will be sure to review it. I appreciate your time. -PKJ
