Selecting a Wire
Any wire in the workspace can be selected in three different ways: 1. By clicking on the Select Wire button (arrow icon) on the toolbar and then...
Modifying a Wire
Right-clicking on a wire brings up a menu. Choosing the Modify command from the pop-up menu shows the Modify dialog box, where the geometrical parameters and attributes of the selected wire can be modified...
Deleting a Wire
Right-clicking on a wire brings up a menu. Choosing the Delete command from the pop-up menu deletes the selected wire with all sources and loads placed on it...
Modifying a Group of Wires
In antenna modeling, efficiency and precision in wire selection and editing are crucial for a smooth workflow. Since version 10 of AN-SOF Antenna Simulator, several new tools have been introduced to simplify bulk wire selection and modification.
Deleting a Group of Wires
Click on the Selection Box button in the main toolbar. Then, left clicking on the workspace a box to select multiple wires can be expanded...

Connecting Wires
A wire junction is automatically established whenever the coordinates of a wire end are identical to the end coordinates of a wire previously specified. However, two wires will be also connected automatically when their ends are spaced one tenth of the wire radius...
Moving, Rotating, and Scaling Wires
Modify wire positions and sizes in AN-SOF. Select wires using the selection box. Move, rotate, and scale wires using dedicated dialog boxes. Choose between single factor, line length, or advanced scaling options. Control wire positions and orientations precisely.
Copying and Stacking Wires
Copy and stack wires in AN-SOF. Select wires using the selection box. Copy wires with offsets and rotations. Stack wires along specified directions with customizable spacing. Create antenna arrays efficiently.
