This turns more practical an evaluation (and the file is quite small
:-)).
The software looks really impressive!
Since it calculates capacitances numerically, I am imagining that it
would not be difficult to include a breakdown voltage calculation,
by looking at the maximum electric field at the surfaces of the
elements. The program would then be able to predict the behavior
not only of Tesla coils, but of (single sparks in) several spark gap
configurations.
