source code to generate .nec files for helical wire antennas

4nec2_helical_gen's Issues

What does the antenna look like?

So we've got a definition for n concentric helices, But afterwards, I'm a bit stuck.

@AlexMontgomerie Can you figure out what geometry we want for the top connection? Also what type of connection do we want for the bottom edges (I assume one grounded and a voltage source on the other.

Check the file necpp_main.py for details

issue with reg expression

 match_number = re.compile('-?\ *[0-9]+\.?[0-9]*(?:[Ee]\ *-?\ *[0-9]+)?')

There's an issue with my table parsing method. It's having problems with the zeros in a line, not correctly putting them into a single zero. I'll take a look at the expression it's trying to match with.

The rp output is not Zsymetric

@AlexMontgomerie Any idea why though?
My point is that if the antenna is pointn along the \vec{e}_z direction we should see the bulge in gain in that direction as well.
Here's a picture of the output with a dot at z=10 (x,y=0,0)

grapher module draws random curves

That's normal I guess it comes from the definition of the spherical coordinates, will fix later.
Just adding it to the issue tracker for people to know I'm aware of this.
