Calculating the Far Field
Created OnOctober 13, 2022
Updated OnApril 30, 2023
By:Tony Golden
Once the current distribution on the structure has been obtained, the far-field in the angular ranges set in the Far-Field panel > of the Setup tabsheet can be computed.
Go to Run > Run Far-Field in the main menu to run the calculation of the far-field, Fig. 1. This command is only enabled when the current distribution has already been calculated.
Tip
To run the calculation of the current distribution and the far field sequentially and automatically, click on the Run Currents and Far-Field (F11) button on the toolbar.
