Software for antenna designers

Hi All,

Do you know of an/any antenna software you would use for linux that does
like EZNEC+ v5.0 (licenced) http://www.eznec.com/

Well the core ( nec2 ) is open source and so runs on linux, but your GUI
(
EZNEC+ ) is not. You could try Wine, I believe 4nec2 works well with it,
4nec2 is a much more advanced program too.

Thanks Andrew,

Yeah, I found those two options too. It seems like there is no other…?
Wine seems to be needed if…
It would be a perfect “task”/thesis for a student group to make a pure
crossplatform one.

Well nec2 does all the work and it is already cross-platform, all
someone
would have to do is make a GUI to display the results.

Thanks Alexander for the hint, I was unaware of it.

I am not absolutely sure what you mean with ‘results’, but there is
xnec2c[1], a gtk frontend to the c translation of the original FORTRAN
nec2. It’s packaged in debian.

Kind regards,
