- IMPORTANT NOTES:
-
- 1) Read the manual for more information on WireGrid for Windows
- (see section 3.2 for printing/reading the manual --- User's Guide).
-
- 2) The WireGrid executable winwire.exe is by default a DEMO version.
- This DEMO version is restrictive in only one aspect --- you can save
- only 15 elements when using the DEMO version. You will thus be able
- to get a good idea of what you will be able to do with the package.
- To use the FULL version (no restrictions), you have to purchase WireGrid.
- The current prices are:
-
- * Full version: $150.00 (US$)
- * Student version: $75.00 (US$)
- * Discounts if more than 5 copies are purchased.
- (Credit Card payments preferred)
-
- If you order/purchase WireGrid you will be able to use the FULL version
- immediately (send us the REFERENCE CODE of the DEMO version and we will
- send you a PASSWORD). We will also ship a 3-1/2 inch original WireGrid
- disk (with a nice User's Guide) to you --- free of shipping charges.

- 1) Description of files on disk
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- This disk contains the self extracting zip files:
- a) inst_f.exe --- Zipped WireGrid executable
- b) manual.exe --- Zipped WireGrid manual (Latex format)
- c) examples.exe --- Zipped WireGrid examples
-
-
-
- 2) Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- This is the second release of the NEC pre-processor WireGrid for Windows
- (WinWire). WireGrid has been developed by EM Software & Systems in
- collaboration with the University of Stellenbosch (Stellenbosch, South Africa).
- We have used it for a number of practical modelling problems and found it
- extremely useful. The most useful feature is the automatic wiregrid
- generation feature for equivalent conducting surface modelling.
- We have many ideas for improving the code --- but would appreciate
- contributions/suggestions from any person using WireGrid. We
- suspect that there could be a number of BUGS. We would therefore appreciate
- it if you can inform us of the BUGS you have encountered while using
- WireGrid.
-
-
- 3) Installation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Copy all files to an appropriate directory. Then follow the installation
- steps described below.
-
- 3.1) Installation of WireGrid executable:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Execute the file inst_f.exe. The file, inst_f.exe, is a self-extracting
- zip file. The execution of inst_f.exe will result in the creation of the
- executable WireGrid ver 2.11 file: winwire.exe. Create a program group in
- Windows (Program Manager File/New Program Group option). Create a program
- item in Windows (Program Manager File/New Program Item). Choose winwire.exe
- (with the correct directory path) in the Command Line box. Choose the
- Change Icon option --- choose the WireGrid icon. Press OK. You should now
- be able to run WireGrid by double clicking the WireGrid icon.
-
- 3.2) WireGrid User's Guide:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Execute the file manuals.exe. The manual file man2_10.tex will be created.
- This is in Latex format and NO figures/graphs are included. Read the
- man2_10.tex file using NOTEPAD (or any text editor).
-
-
-
- 3.3) WireGrid example files:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Execute the file examples.exe. The example files boat.he and car.he will be
- created. You can load these files into WinWire and play around with them.
- These examples show the typical problems WireGrid can be used for.
- PLEASE NOTE: If you use the DEMO version of WireGrid, and save any one of
- the example files, only the first 15 elements will be saved (the rest will
- be lost!)
-
