AN-SOF Antenna Modeling

Recently changed to using Antenna Simulator's AN-SOF antenna modeling software on my ham radio dedicated Win11 laptop PC. Have been modeling antennas for decades professionally with a recent change in employee status from full-time to part-time impacting ability to easily access company's ultra-expensive tools (HFSS, CST-Studio, and FEKO). Searching for a high-capability and low cost tool options led to Antenna Simulator's website where I started a free AN-SOF trial demo.

Was looking for a tool that had a nice graphical user interface, was easy to use, and provided simple yet powerful setup, run-time and post-run display features. AN-SOF has delivered on those needs. With this tool I was able to complete a series of get-started, learn about the tool exercises that confirmed usability and capability of the product.

Here are my posts on using AN-SOF software for Amateur Radio antenna modeling:

Postponed AN-SOF Elevated MPAS-Lite Vertical Antenna Simulation << First look at MPAS-Lite vertical elevated 10' over ground with four 25' counterpoise sloping down to ~1" above ground (ends insulated) shows significant moding changes over 7-29 MHz range. Will investigate further as time permits...
