 Xnews is an application
that provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to the NEWS code.
It makes it easier for a user who is not very familiar with the
inner workings of the NEWS code to effectively use it. Xnews allows
the user to input a number of parameters that are related to the
electromagnetic problem under consideration, such as,
- Input parameters: Allows
the user to indicate the following parameters
- Geometry file: In
Anastasia format
- Number of time steps
- Truncation parameters:
These could be either of the following
- Material Properties
- Thin Wires
- Pre-processing
- Surface Currents:
Extracts the surface from a given geometry
- Rayleigh Number:
Given a frequency of interest, outputs the Rayleigh number
- Output parameters
- Patterns
- Far-field /
RCS: Far-field and RCS are mutually exclusive
- Near-field
- Computation of Current
Distribution
- Output Currents
vs Time
- Electromagnetic problem:
Could be either of the following two problems
- Excitation Problem:
Any one of the following three can be chosen at one time
- Plane Wave
- Antenna
- Lightning
- Coupling Problem
- Post-processing: Post-processing
is done after running a Coupling Problem
- Viewing the processed
data: The following two applications can be used for visualization
