Mark,

I'm not into this field of knowledge, but where I work a software capable of dealing with antenna configurations would be great to determine radiation patterns, interference, loss of efficiency when receiveing/transmitting and so on. It would be primarily used for antenna installations on aircraft. Is your new code capable of that (partially at least)?
Thanks for your time, and apologies for my ignorance.

At this moment it can only deal with fully conductive surfaces with prescribed constant potential or total known charge and point charges, no dielectrics are permitted. Post processing can be done in GiD or Paraview.
