Simulate an insulated antenna in FEKO

Hi, 

 

I was wondering is there a more efficient way to simulate an insulated antenna in FEKO, a media wire coated with dielectric sheath as  shown in the figure below. 

 

Currently, I perform the simulation by creating a dielectric cylinder and metal wire geometry and meshing them with triangles and segments. But it produces so many triangles, and the efficiency is quite low. 

 

Can I use the cable modeling features in FEKO to do the same thing?

 

Thank you.

    I think this option will do.

    The coating is what you are looking for.

     

    (Cable modeling is not suitable for antenna modeling as a return path for the current is required)
