Hello,
in the following link I asked a question, and one person answered my question with two file with formats ".cfx" and ".pre" :

How extract s-parameters in EditFeko - Feko - Altair Products - Altair Community

but I can not open ".cfx" file in my system. I can open all of the other ".cfx" file in my system. I do not know why I get this error in my system:

    Hi Mike,

    Error 17604 is most likely related to the Feko version. I believe you are still using Feko 2020.1 and try to open a model created by a newer version. Feko models are not downward compatible (they cannot be!).

    I would strongly recommend installing Feko 2023 (if your license allows it) and then updating to Feko 2023.0.1.

    Best regards,
    Torben

    Hello Torben Voigt,
    thank you for your answer. unfortunately I do not have access to altair feko 2023 version. if it is possible for you, please extract ".cfm" file in your system and upload it here for me. also, please take a picture from the environment of ".cfx" file in order to see what components is there. 
    thank you

    Hi Mike,

    I attach the .cfm file for you as well as the .pre file, so you can try to run it with EDITFEKO version 2020.

    The model contains two StandardConfigurations (in one the blade is excited and in the other the dipole is excited to get the individual far field patterns) and one SParameterConfiguration. Note, that in Feko 2023 one can get the individual field results from the SParameterCOnfiguration directly.

    Hope this helps!
