Solution Methods per Application
A solution method is selected based on the electrical size of a problem, the geometrical complexity and available computational resources.
- Solution method is ideally suited to the problem.
 - Solution method could be used, but an alternative method is better suited to the problem.
 - <empty space>
 - Indication that the respective solution method should not be used.
