Hi Robert,

Terry is correct. Fantc will handle all linear secondary or primary coil 
shapes possible for a single layer coil. It does not have inputs for curves 
along the coils length, for example, a flat coil which bends over and up 
into a helical. But if it's a cone (inverse or otherwise), flat, or 
helical, and this shape is linear from top to bottom, then Fantc can handle it.

Take care,
Bart
