✦ Synopsis
The method of moments, in the form of a boundary element method, has been widely applied to problems of electromagnetic scattering and radiation. The piecewise-sinusoid thin-wire antenna code developed by Richmond is reliable, efficient, and well-tested. This paper describes a personal-computer-based interactive pre-and post-processor code developed by the authors, which can be used to easily prepare data required for use with the Richmond code. All geometrical data is entered graphically, automatic segmentation of the structure is possible, datafiles can be stored for later use, existing datafiles (geometries) can be easily edited to create new geometries, and all numerical output data can be obtained in graphical form. The Richmond code is also included, for convenience, with the permission of its originator.
