Download Example Models

The Models tab in the AN-SOF interface provides a categorized library of pre-built antenna projects. These serve as excellent starting points for learning how to use the software effectively (Fig. 1).

Interactive Learning

When you click on a model button:

• Instant Visualization: The project opens immediately, displaying the 3D radiation pattern and geometry.
• Documentation: A detailed PDF document opens automatically, explaining the underlying physics and the specific configuration of that model.

Trial Version Compatibility

The trial version of AN-SOF has a 50-segment limit (totaling wire segments, junctions, and ground connections). Here is how you can use the examples:

• View Mode: All pre-computed example models, even those exceeding 50 segments, can be opened in the Trial version. You can fully inspect the 3D plots, tables, and graphs of these existing results.
• Run Mode: To run a new calculation or modify a design, the model must stay within the 50-segment limit.
• Downloadable Models: You can download these five specific models designed for the trial version:
  • 2-Element Quad
  • 2-Element Delta Loop
  • HF Skeleton Slot
  • Inverted V
  • 5-Element Yagi-Uda
