Re: [TCML] Q



Hi Antonio,

The only element that can be configured as a rod is a vertical thin cylinder. What looks as rods to both sides is actually a disk. A true 3D simulator can be written, but it would take much longer to do the calculations.

I tried using a vertical cylinder as well. But these were intended to be top loads, not streamers. So even trying to fake in a rod throws it center. The rod length and position to the coil just doesn't work well. I was hoping at the time (long ago now) that the rod length off each end of the topload could be 1/2 the spark length, but I really didn't trust the output at the time.

Maybe what I can do is redo the simulation and this time verify against existing coil with some frequency measurements and a wire rod representation (both centered as would be done in this particular program and normal to see the difference) then I can see how Javatc handles it. It's simply another small aspect of inclusion. But, just a design program on the front end. Tuning measurements can surely be done later to fine tune it.

I wish I would have stuck with it longer. I had everything scripted. There was an input for estimated spark length and height. The streamer object was then inserted as any other top load object.

Take care,
Bart
