Analysis software is now faster

Poynting Software has announced the release of SuperNEC V 2.5. This release of SuperNEC includes an upgrade to the engine which will allow the software to solve problems up to 10x faster.

The SuperNEC engine has been redesigned to include optimised code for Pentium II, III, IV and Celeron processors. This has shown to decrease simulation by up to 10 times on a Pentium IV machine using the standard LU decomposition techniques, says Poynting. Other new features include: new assemblies such as a horn antenna and a quadrifilar helix antenna and many other changes to the output viewer to make it easier and more enjoyable to use.

SuperNEC 2.5 incorporates the patented 'simply sparse' solver core by Dr Francis Canning, as well as the sparse iterative method (SIM). These methods optimise the computer's resources to solve larger problems in a shorter time frame. SuperNEC 2.5 also incorporates the ability to simulate dielectric coated wire segments.

The upgrade to SuperNEC 2.5 is free for those users who have a SuperNEC subscription. Upgrades or a 30-day trial are available at www.supernec.com.

Three different products are available:

* SuperNEC Lite is ideal for students and radio amateurs. Solve small EM problems of not more than 300 segments and 3 GTD objects, eg, basic antenna types like Yagi and LPDA.

* SuperNEC is a complete package with no limitations (except hardware memory). Generally required when large gridded structures are modelled, eg, aircraft up to VHF.

* SuperNEC Parallel: licence for unlimited network software. Used where electrically large and complex structures are analysed at a high frequency, eg, Boeing at 500 MHz. The memory of networked machines is pooled to reduce the execution speed.
