After some improvements, http://abelian.org/lcnetgen I implemented the fast multipole method for the capacitance calculation. This allows large numbers of tiles to be used. Isolated unit sphere: 111.32 pF using 30,000 tiles 111.272 pF using 1,000,000 tiles 111.269 pF using 4,000,000 tiles (correct value is close to 111.26501 pF) Isolated unit cube: 73.54 pF using 30,000 tiles 73.508 pF using 720,000 tiles (correct value is close to 73.510898 pF) The 4e6 tile sphere takes about an hour using 32 cores of Xeon E5-2680. Fortunately for practical use 10k to 50k tiles is plenty for around 1% precision and runs in a few minutes on a domestic PC. Quad core and 8Gbyte RAM is fine. Infinite ground plane is partially supported (E-field only). Calculates response to incident E and H fields. Example 5 shows the complicated spectrum of a LF loading coil made from seven nested bucket coils. This is a difficult one because the coils are so close together. I'm looking out for interesting systems to model, especially where accurate measurements are available for comparison. -- Paul Nicholson -- _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
