We describe a pair of finite-element codes which use unstructured meshes to solve the time-dependent Maxwell equations, with particular emphasis on their application to electromagnetic scattering problems. A two-step, flux-corrected transport scheme is used to effect the time integration, while the spatial structure of the field is determined by a Galerkin procedure. The basis functions are piecewise-linear on three-noded triangles in two dimensions and four-noded tetrahedra in three. For the periodic scattering problems with which we are presently concerned, adaptive remeshing is a convenient and powerful method for improving the quality of the solutions. Results for the analytically tractable case of scattering by a perfectly conducting circular cylinder are used to illustrate the performance of the codes.
