I have been trying to model an inductor in NEC 4.1, (code shown below)
single precision (NEC4S600). I have observed a disconnect of 55
micro-meters between segments 300 and 301 -- which is treated as an open
circuit (>0.001 of a segment length at 44 micro-meters).
Changing the number of segments, or the number of turns, by one or more,
corrects
the problem. Typically the segment end-points are within < 3 micro-meters.
I have not identified all conditions when this occurs, but some other
combinations
of segments, and turns, do produce a disconnect. I have not completely
investigated NEC 4.1, double precision, but it does run the code below with
no disconnect evident.
I have used Excel to compute the segment end points from the NEC output
file.
I would be very interested if anybody else has observed such an anomaly.
