Note that, in general, the passwords do expire and have to be renewed each year. The course covers basic discussions on numerical electromagnetics as well as how to set up and solve problems in the FEKO environment. It may be presented at EMSS in Stellenbosch or at the clients own location. The operating systems it runs on might, however, be sensitive to computer dates. The user manual and program output is available in both German and English.
Support is generally only available in English.
The user interface requires a screen resolution of at least 800x600 and preferably more than 256 colours. The memory depends on the size of the model under consideration, but one should have at least 15 MByte of allocatable memory. For the solution engine, the memory requirement is entirely dependent on the problem size. In general, a MoM problem with N basis functions requires 16 N 2 Bytes of memory. For metallic surfaces, one unknown is associated with each internal edge between two triangular patches.
