Thanks Matt. Also Terry, is it the old Javatc program your having issues
with or Javatc3D? Both programs are listed there so just want to make
sure we all talk apples and apples.
Take care,
Bart

> Was looking at some specs on JAVATC, and was unable to determine why the "solution" always put the topload somewhere around the middle of the secondary coil. Tried various things to fix it, but would always return to a mid-secondary location in the graphic provided when I "RUN JAVATC". This did not happen the last time I used similar inputs. Any suggestions from those that use this tool frequently?
