Also on April 4th, 2008, FEKO User Group Meeting was organized. More than 20 people attended the FEKO user group meeting. In the morning, Dr. Ulrich Jakobus first discussed FEKO kernel extensions and improvements in Suite 5.3, as well as the work going on for Suite 5.4. Then Dr. Rensheng (Ray) Sun reviewed the new features in CADFEKO GUI for Suite 5.3 with some demo examples. After a short break, FEKO users Prof. Dejan Filipovic (University of Colorado, Boulder), Dr. Randy Haupt, and Mr. Daniel Aten (both from Pennsylvania State University) talked about how FEKO has been successfully used in their classroom teaching as well as in research projects. In the afternoon session, Dr. C.J. Reddy presented the latest benchmark data on using FEKO Suite 5.3 for electrically large structures. FEKO users provided feedbacks and suggestions to the developers before the end of meeting.
