The Feko Getting Started Guide contains step-by-step instructions on how to get started with Feko.
The Feko Example Guide contains a collection of examples that teaches you Feko concepts and essentials.
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.
An application macro is a reference to an automation script, an icon file and associated metadata.
The application macro library allows commonly used application macros to be stored in a repository.
A collection of Lua application macros are available to automate repetitive tasks in CADFEKO.
This application macro transfers settings and application macros between different versions of Feko. This may be useful if you have customised one installation of Feko and want to use the same settings in a concurrent installation.
The application macro allows you to create an array of elements. Specify the number of elements and offset between the elements, or import the coordinates from file to create an irregular-spaced array. For the array amplitude distribution, select a mathematical distribution (such as cosine) or import the magnitude and phase for each element from file.
Use the application macro to create a linear or planar antenna array from a specified base element.
Specify the number of elements and offset between the elements.
Define the amplitude distribution for the antenna array.
Use the application macro to create an irregular-spaced antenna array from a specified base element.
The Generate antenna array application macro has several limitations on how the base element is defined and the amplitude distribution.
The application macro allows you to compare two CADFEKO models to find the differences between the two models.
A collection of smaller CADFEKO application macros are available, but these macros do not include step-by-step instructions.
A collection of Lua application macros are available to automate repetitive tasks in POSTFEKO.
A collection of Lua macros are available to automate repetitive tasks where the workflow span both 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.
