Howdy,
I still a new user, and I am simulating a large log-periodic slot array using magnetic current simulation in IE3D. I am wanting to expand the current design to cover a larger frequency range, but doing so creates too many variables to be ran in a reasonable amount of time.
I found that the FASTA feature in IE3D could significantly reduce simulation time, but it appears that the results are completely inaccurate! I varied the "minimum unknowns" in the FASTA settings and attached a graph comparing results.
Can anyone tell me why the results are so inaccurate? Does FASTA have any limitations other than listed in the user manual?
Settings used:
Fmax=20
Ncells=15 (should this be bigger/smaller for good results?)
AEC=0
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
