There is always a trade-off between speed and accuracy. However, we often need to prioritize speed in the first simulations of an antenna model. Here are some tips to speed up the calculations.

We see that most of the time we are interested in calculating only the E-field in antenna projects when we are talking about the near field. For this reason, we have added an option to enable or disable the automatic calculation of the H-Field.

From the far field point of view, the whole structure of an antenna and its surroundings is reduced to a single point at the origin (X,Y,Z) = (0,0,0).
