Abstract
Multi‐dimensional director calculations have typically taken an inordinate amount of time on all but the fastest computers. In this paper we will show methods for increasing the speed and stability of multi‐dimensional calculations such that they can be run on desktop PCs. We will also present an “open‐source” algorithm in which these methods are implemented. Details of the algorithm's design, accuracy and operation are discussed.
