We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

I guess it is related to the complier version. Since not many people create their own plugin materials, I am not sure which version of Visual Studio is supported. What I found is like this:

  • For versions of FDTD up to the 2016b release, use Visual Studio 2008
  • For versions of FDTD from the 2017a release onwards, use Visual Studio 2013
