Default Does NEC-2 model wires as solid or hollow?

Supposing that Art means: Does NEC-2 model wires as solid or hollow?

It makes no difference. Skin effect makes a hollow wire appear to be
solid.

Computer programs successfully predict antenna performance so they are
in demand the world over as Art noted. They make the tedious easy.
