Re: NEC-LIST: Currents

ASAP will do this, and give you a nice list. You'd have to look at the
code. I believe the current from a 1V rms source into Zin at the
antenna terminals is the default source, which then gives/prints the
mag/phase current on each segment. The current is what the matrix
routine solves for. Thats a big plus for readable source code.

I think NEC does the same, but its not a symmetrical matrix like ASAP,
so LU decomposition is used to solve it. Eznec gives a nice relative
plot of all of the currents, so thats what I use when I want a pretty
picture of antenna currents.
