Abstract :
The paper presents an automatic procedure for obtaining the wire-grid model starting from an arbitrary plate model. The procedure results in cells of approximately same size and radial meshing around the wire-to-plate junctions. A number of different models obtained in this manner are then used to determine optimal values of wire radii and spacing. Finally, the accuracy and efficiency of wire-grid modeling is compared with those of plate modeling.
