Intro To SimNEC: An Interactive Antenna Simulation Program

[@dougbas3980]

What a powerful tool! Thank you for what you have given us! I am learning so much.

[@josefvogl1161]

Great tool!!!

Where did you move necCrewSize in Preferences in your simNEC 1.8 b1 version?

[@ae6ty]

Under 'view/nec Portal'.

Hi Ward, I was following along and building the dipole just as in your example. At about 05:30 you directly connected port 2. I did all the same steps but after I made that connections the X values did not change, as it changed on yours. Is there a special key to hit that makes it run (it stayed at R=50 and X = 0) ? Everything looked like yours except the impedances are not calculating. 73, KM5L

To make this work in version 1.8 b3 you need the declaration dcl NECUnits="meters";

where? I am having this issue.

[@pgramsey1]

@@Aimsport-video In the text box. Where it says //name , enter NECUnits meters; under it.

Hi Ward. Just wanted to say THANKS! for all the hard work you've done on this software over the years. One of the most useful tools in the toolbox for both design and teaching. 73

I've used SimSmith for a number of years so I'm familiar with most blocks. However, SimNec is new to me and I followed this tutorial but I'm getting different results than you. R = 6.216, X = - 2.968K, etc. While your R = 73.96, X = 13.42. Any ideas?

ae6ty, please update this video with adding: To make this work in version 1.8 b3 you need the declaration dcl NECUnits="meters"; as described by @johneslaughter 73, NO5X

Wow Ward, you certainly have been busy! I am anxious to give SimNEC a try.

What is the license for simsmith/ simNec? Is it gnugpl or other Floss license? Thank u for your work.

[@ae6ty]

SimNEC is offered under the MIT license. See 'about SimNEC' to find a pointer to that license.

[@kimhawkk9544]

I look up to you and really appreciate your works.

Quite a nice tool!

Awesome!
