WIPL-D is a computational electromagnetics software suite suitable for wide range of engineering applications such as antenna design, antenna placement, radar cross section analysis, EMC, antenna arrays and radomes, microwave circuits, low frequency problems. The name reflects the basic mesh elements used within the method i. e. WIres and PLates, while D designates that material base is not limited to metals only but can as well include Dielectrics.

The seminal work on the numerical kernel has been carried out by professor Branko Kolundzija and professor Antonije Djordjevic back in 1980. In 1989, the first academic version of the software was released. The code was sold in hundreds of copies as Lite version distributed through Artech House. In 2002, the WIPL-D company was established for the commercial distribution of the code as spin-off of/from School of Electrical Engineering (University of Belgrade).

Over the years, the customer base continued to grow worldwide and nowadays WIPL-D software has become an industry standard and a recognized brand in the engineering community.

The kernel is based on the Method of Moments (MoM), with unique combination of higher order basis functions (HOBF) and quadrilateral mesh. This numerical approach along with utilization of parallel computing, allows that the electrically very large and complex scenarios can be solved in reasonable time using everyday computational resources.
