Extended Functionality for Multi Task Calculation

combination of fast calculation techniques (Multi Excitation Solution and Matrix Partitioning Method) for optimization and tuning purposes. Advanced GUI tools give flexible possibility to prepare simulation model and configure calculation tasks.

Model Partitioning: model geometry needs to be divided into main (Base Layer) and additional parts (Additional Layers).
Excitation Sets Definition: all excitations need to be combined into groups (Excitation Sets).
Computational Tasks Definition: after model partitioning and excitation sets definition, all layers and sets are combined into special groups (Tasks) that form the computational tasks and can be executed in user defined sequence.

Flexible Definition of Z Level for Infinite Ground Plane

Very often imported geometry models intersect ground plane. For such cases model adjustment above ground can be done very easily by defining required Z level for ground plane. This way is more flexible than applying transformation operations on imported model. By default, ground plane is placed in z=0. It is possible to shift ground plane along Z axis by defining required Z Level value in Ground Properties dialog.
