FEKO is a comprehensive electromagnetic simulation software tool, based on state of the art computational electromagnetics (CEM) techniques. It enables users to solve a wide range of electromagnetic problems. The multiple solution techniques available within FEKO make it applicable to a wide range of problems for a large array of industries. Typical applications include: Antennas: analysis of horns, microstrip patches, wire antennas, reflector antennas, conformal antennas, broadband antennas, arrays Antenna placement: analysis of antenna radiation patterns, radiation hazard zones, etc. with an antenna placed on a large structure, e.g. ship, aircraft, armoured car EMC: analysis of diverse EMC problems including shielding effectiveness of an enclosure, cable coupling analysis in complex environments, e.g. wiring in a car, radiation hazard analysis Bio-electromagnetics: analysis of homogeneous or non-homogeneous bodies, SAR extraction RF components: analysis of waveguide structures, e.g. filter, slotted antennas, directional couplers 3D EM circuits: analysis of microstrip filters, couplers, inductors, etc. Radomes: analysis of multiple dielectric layers in a large structure Scattering problems: RCS analysis of large and small structures Airbus_A380_CADFEKO_6_2.png ship navy various antennas GUI Features Large array of primitives for model creation (e.g. helix, cone, wire, paraboloid, hyperboloid, bezier curves) Importation of externally computed lists of points for creation of lines, polygons, etc. Tree based access to simulation elements (settings, materials, grids, results, etc.) Selection, zooming, 3-D mouse-only based handling, etc. Full solver control via GUI Time domain results processing.
