The newFASANT User Guide contains examples with step-by-step instructions on how to get started with newFASANT.
The newFASANT User Guide contains a collection of examples that teaches you newFASANT concepts and essentials.
The newFASANT utilities allows you to set up a remote server, use the batch utility to mesh and execute a project or upload a project to a queueing system.
An overview of the newFASANT graphical user interface is given.
Results can be post-processed to obtain customized results.
A large collection of antennas are supported as well as importing radiation patterns and specifying the antenna feeding.
Materials can be defined, edited, deleted and assigned to specific surfaces or objects.
The command line can be used to draw geometries or change the GUI configuration.
The next table represents an exhaustive list of the commands supported in newFASANT. These commands are ordered by the function they perform.
This option is useful to identify the curves and surfaces in the geometry that describe large curvatures. Given a desired angle as reference (in degrees), if some of the selected objects describe curvatures bigger than the reference angle the points are generated where the curves has varied their direction every angular step. The detected points may be only visualized or also added to the geometry.
This tool allows the user to detect the edges in the geometry. The edges may be only visualized or also added to the geometry.
