Shielding Factor of a Sphere with Finite Conductivity
Calculate the shielding factor of a hollow sphere with finite conductivity. The sphere is constructed from a lossy metal with a thickness of 2.5 nm.
An incident plane wave is defined from 1 MHz to 100 MHz. Use a single near field point located at the centre of the sphere to compute the shielding factor.

The shielding factor results are compared using the following solution methods:
- Method of moments (MoM)
- Finite element method (FEM)
Tip: Each model uses its predecessor as a starting
point. Create the models in their presentation order. Save each model to a new
location to keep them.
