Default The catenary effect

wrote in news
EZNEC will generate loops with whatever number of sides you want and
thus it is fairly easy to see when increasing the number of sides
gives diminishing returns in the difference between the loops.


I imagine the simplest way (the way I'd do it if I was coding EZNEC myself
(as if I could!)), I'd allow the user to set the segment count not by direct
number, but by limiting angle to dictate segment length before generating a
new segment automatically, that way ANY curve will be met with an appropriate
array of segemnts, and changing the angle changes count, process time,
accuracy...
