Hello,

I'd like to know how the CFIE factor can be set in FEKO 2018.2.1. I selected all face properties to be 'CFIE' and according to

https://2021.help.altair.com/2021/feko/topics/feko/user_guide/cadfeko/factor_cfie_specify_feko_t-cadfeko.htm

it should be easy to set this factor in the 'CFIE factor' entry, but there is no such entry in my FEKO version. The CFIE solver works, but I do not know which CFIE factor is used and I want to set it manually.

 

Thank you for your help!

    The CFIE factor can be set in CADFEKO directly in from Feko version 2019 and later.

    In older versions you have to use EDITFEKO and edit the CF card.

    The CFIE factor is written to the *.out file from Feko version 2018.2.1, e.g.

    The electric field integral equation (EFIE) is used on metallic surfaces, except for these labels where either the magnetic (MFIE) or combined (CFIE) field integral equation is applied (for the CFIE a factor of 0.250 is used)

    The default factor is 0.2
