Abstract :
MatNEC is a series of tools that use the popular analysis program MatLab to serve as both a pre- and post-processor for a NEC-2 computational engine. The pre-processing features of MatNEC, which include interactive structure development and the generation of an ASCII-text input file, were described in detail previously. This article details the post-processing features of MatNEC, which include automatic data extraction from a standard NEC-2 output file, and subsequent visualization via a series of MatLab control figures
