Hello, I would like to know the meaning of this warning and whether it will affect the accuracy of the results 

 WARNING 37630: The eigenmodes calculated for CMA are not all orthogonal See also message in the output file Myantena.out

thank you, best regards!

    Hello ALM,

     

    It means that the modes that have been calculated are not linearly independent (but they should be). The first things I would try to improve the eigenmode orthogonality, is to use a finer mesh and/or switching to double precision accuracy.

    Hello Alm, please attach your .cfx file so that we can check it.

    I am also having the same problem, and being new to feko I am unsure how to refine the mesh.

    I will attach the file below
