Abstract :
An educational software tool for the efficient analysis of two-dimensional scattering and radiation problems is presented. The tool makes use of an iterative finite element method (FEM) for open region problems. An appropriate and friendly user interface, and the intuitive results, help the student in the learning of 2D scattering and radiation problems in a faster and easier way.
