Hello Ray, In reply to your mail I wanted if you have any prefered software for solving RLGC values. In your reply to odd-mode impedance you mentioned about Apsim RLGC is it a stand alone field solver? Please tell me if you know about any good stand alone solver, how to get it and where to get it. Thank you.
