NEC-LIST: Scaling: m, mm or um?

Well,

Coding a model in extremely small dimensions (may) leads to numerical
errors propagating through the iterations. This is more pronounced
as the number of segments increases, i.e. the size of the matrix
grows.

Please correct me if I am wrong, as far as I am able to tell, NEC is not
scale friendly.

I suppose it is quite a challenge if one have to code major dimensions
in meters instead of say milimeters (or cm) or perhaps wire thickness
in micrometers (as in the case of modeling a electronic package) or
frequency in GHz or MHz. I understand that even double precision
representations has its limits.

:-)
Just my 2cents.
