Antenna Nodes


Assign properties on wire antenna nodes. This is the equivalent of the Interfaces tool, adapted for wire ends. The way to assign the property is the same : use the "Assign" button.


The most common usage of this tool is the setting of short-circuited wire ends. Each short-circuited wire extremity will be connected to the nearest surface. In fact, ICARE will slightly deform the nearest triangles in order to make a junction between the end of the wire and the middle of a triangle edge.



Check assignment by clicking on the "Draw" button.


This can not be used to connect 2 wires together. The connections between wire elements are processed automatically : they just need to have a common point.


This tool can also be used to assign localized impedance on wire antenna nodes :
