  Preface

  You will be required to score between 60% and 80% of the total marks in each quiz, to complete the Examination and receive the certificate, also note that you are allowed only 3 attempts in each quiz, so if unsuccessful in your first attempt, you should review the learning course specified below, read the questions more carefully and do better in the next two attempts, your highest score among all 3 attempts will be considered and if the score is below the required percentage in all three attempts you cannot complete the examination.

  To do better in the exam please refer to the learning course Learn Electromagnetic Analysis with FEKO
• 1) CEM: The Method of Moments solver in FEKO

  1) CEM: The Method of Moments solver in FEKO

  The Method of Moments is the default solver in FEKO. A basic understanding of this solver will form the basis of understanding meshes in FEKO and the computational resources requirements for solving models.

• 4) EMC Exercises

  4) EMC Exercises

  Two interactive exercises related to EMC applications are given in this section.

  In the first exercise you will model the near fields radiated through an aperture in a box with a wire and source inside the box. 

  The second exercise is on post-processing near fields to display ISO surfaces for RADHAZ applications.
