The culprit? <strong>Rounded corners<\/strong>, not represented in the model. By creating a script that considered rounded corners, we were able to achieve a more accurate simulation, leading to a new AN-SOF command called <strong>GB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;GB&#8217; simplifies creating rounded corner models, <strong>saving time<\/strong> and <strong>improving simulation accuracy<\/strong> compared to the older &#8216;GA&#8217; NEC command. Stay tuned for an upcoming tutorial on this model!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69dc24c10c5e0&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69dc24c10c5e0\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1259\" height=\"661\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/antennasimulator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AN-SOF_OmniBiQuad.png\" alt=\"Image of an omni double bi-quad antenna with rounded corners.
