Applications and Solution Method Selection Table
Applications and Solution Method Selection Table
This table is a guide to the suitability of different electromagnetic solution methods, available in FEKO for different applications. Choosing an appropriate method is dictated by various considerations such as electrical size of the problem, geometrical complexity, available computational resources, etc.
Applicability scale:
Technique
is ideally suited to the problem.
Technique could be used but there is normally a better alternative,
depending on the specific problem.
