But most often when you see an antenna inventor or seller claim that his
antenna "can't be modeled" by NEC, EZNEC, or other programs, it just
means that modeling fails to show the extraordinary performance he
claims for it. That's simply a failure of the program to include the
effects of magical properties and wishful thinking in its calculations.
I've come to regard such claims as a red flag indicating a probable
exaggeration of antenna performance.

I wish I could remember the correct spelling for the antenna
I tried to model. Something like "Lentine". It is a dipole
of sorts made from shorted and open sections of balanced
transmission line. I tried modeling it with wires in EZNEC
and got all sorts of errors. It looked something like this:

+--------+--------+--------FP--------+--------+--------+
+------ +------ +------ ------+ ------+ ------+

Anyone remember the correct spelling for that antenna?
