[TCML] still learning javatc 3 days, coil lenghth

[bartb]

Hi Douglas,

Reading your question is like trying to read short-hand (you must hate 
typing!). I'm still not sure what your asking? "r1 lv 2.2 r2 hv15"??? 
lv? hv? Well, still not sure (ok, I can guess but I "hate" guessing).

The toroid vertical position is measured from the center of the toroid 
to ground and the graphic will show that position relative to ground. 
Same with any object. The only problems I have ever seen in this area 
were caused by input errors.

If height 2 of your secondary is say 41" and you want a 4" x 16" toroid 
say 3" above the secondary as measured from the bottom of the toroid 
plane to the top of the secondary, then:  41"+2"+3"= 46" toroid height 
position. The 2" is 1/2 the minor diameter (the toroid vertical center).

The only way to get a some huge vertical space between coil and toroid 
is if you input the positions to be huge. I've never seen any problem in 
this area and I use Javatc daily (for years).

Take care,
Bart
