Use application automation to perform operations with CADFEKO and POSTFEKO. Typical tasks include repetitive tasks, tasks that require several steps, or calculations.
Learn the terminology of automation to create an automation script.
Learn to navigate the API documentation to find the correct syntax for an automation script.
Learn to navigate the API documentation to create a patch antenna using an automation script.
Post-process the results of a patch antenna on a multilayer substrate.
Define a new POSTFEKO project and open a .fek file.
Get a “handle” on the far field result in the far field collection.
Create a Cartesian graph and add a far field result trace, change the independent and fixed axes, quantities and format the graph.
Add a Cartesian graph to the project.
Add a trace (for this example, a far field result) to a Cartesian graph.
Set the independent axis of the far field trace to Phi and the fixed axis to Theta = 30°.
Change the far field trace axis to dB.
Change the font size for both the vertical axis and horizontal axis to 12.
View the completed POSTFEKO automation script.
Increase productivity when dealing with predictable and repeatable POSTFEKO sessions (for example, exporting a report) using application automation. Use an automation script to configure a session and export a report that highlights the antenna properties of the model.
Design a bandpass coupled line filter with Altair HyperStudy as optimisation engine and Feko as the computational solver.
Feko is a comprehensive electromagnetic solver with multiple solution methods that is used for electromagnetic field analyses involving 3D objects of arbitrary shapes.
CADFEKO is used to create and mesh the geometry or model mesh, specify the solution settings and calculation requests in a graphical environment.
POSTFEKO, the Feko post processor, is used to display the model (configuration and mesh), results on graphs and 3D views.
EDITFEKO is used to construct advanced models (both the geometry and solution requirements) using a high-level scripting language which includes loops and conditional statements.
One of the key features in Feko is that it includes a broad set of unique and hybridised solution methods. Effective use of Feko features requires an understanding of the available methods.
Feko offers state-of-the-art optimisation engines based on generic algorithm (GA) and other methods, which can be used to automatically optimise the design and determine the optimum solution.
The Feko utilities consist of PREFEKO, OPTFEKO, ADAPTFEKO, the Launcher utility, Updater and the crash reporter.
Feko writes all the results to an ASCII output file .out as well as a binary output file .bof for usage by POSTFEKO. Use the .out file to obtain additional information about the solution.
A large collection of application macros are available for CADFEKO and POSTFEKO.
CADFEKO and POSTFEKO have a powerful, fast, lightweight scripting language integrated into the application allowing you to create models, get hold of simulation results and model configuration information as well as manipulation of data and automate repetitive tasks.
Reference information is provided in the appendix.
