Hello everybody,

how do i create / find this file?

Thank you

    If you are using a far field equivalent source, this would be the *.ffe file.

    That file is obtained from a full solution where you request output of the far fields to this file. 

    For example you could solve a dipole array above a flat plate and request the *.ffe file.

    Then in the next model you create for example the tower/mast structure of the base station and place 2 far field equivalent sources on top of the structure where these two sources are rotated 180 degrees away from each other.

    Example B.2 in the Example Guide shows how to create such a file.
