If you have some
metadata to spare I request that you insert them for the record such
that the theme "baffle gab" is carried on for future readers. I also
request that you share your particular expertise in this matter with
other groups recognizing we all will be the true loosers if you decide
to depart
but I for one is willing to provide the hardship presented by your
absence for the good of all.

Nothing you have written in this post makes sense but that should be
expected.

AFA metadata goes it is invaluable in data analysis applications
including antenna modeling programs. Every variable has its own
dimension containing potential values. Each combination of dimension
variables produces a measure known as a fact. Changing a single
dimensional value can change the value of the fact.

If one is modeling an antenna and changes the value of height above
ground, the calculated value of the measure will change. Height above
ground is only one of the many dimensional values used in the
calculation of the measure.

This all seems relevant because you question antenna modeling
applications' calculations and how they are made.

I'll go back to lurking after I stretch so I can be looser. Enter OLAP
or analysis cube for more information on metadata and its use in
analysis applications.
