I was working on the a final project and received this error while run Feko. 

The following message from the master process (MYID= 0):

ERROR 33114: Limits of the FEKO Student Edition have been exceeded

See also message in the output file Patch Antenna Test.out

Is there any way to fix the issue? I was unaware any limitation for student use.

Thanks,

Erik

    Hi Erik,

     

    Kindly find below the limitations of FEKO student edition. You might have exceeded any of these limits.  It would be great if you could share the model so that we can determine exactly where it has exceeded the limits and solve the issue accordingly. 

     

    Model Elements

    Limitations

    Number of wires in CADFEKO

    100

    Number of faces in CADFEKO

    200

    Number of mesh wire segments

    2 500

    Number of mesh triangles

    25 000

    Number of tetrahedral volume elements

    250 000

    Number of voxel elements (FDTD)

    500 000

    Solution Specification

     

    Near-field observation points per request

    10 000

    Far-field observation directions per request

    20 000

    Number of frequency values

    20

    Solution Metrics

     

    Main memory that can be allocated by FEKO kernel

    1 GByte

    Number of processes for parallel FEKO version

    4

    Total run-time (wall-clock time) of FEKO kernel

    20 min

    Number of adaptive frequency sampling points

    101

    Number of simultaneously active excitations

    20

    Number of optimisation variables (degrees of freedom)

    3

    Number of optimisation steps (iterations)

    50

    Note: The FEKO Student Edition does not support geometry import and export filters.  It will however allow the export of Parasolid geometry.

    Hi sir,

    how to calculate this example as theoritically  can we any formulas...

     

    Calculate the radiation pattern and input impedance for a half-wavelength dipole at 74.9 MHz. The dipole length is 2 m with a wire radius of 2 mm

    and another question why we have  to choose symmetry (magnetic or electric) which is  available in cad feko software.when i want to choose electrical and when i have choose magnetic please give solution for my quiry

     

    Thanks in advance.........
