We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

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
