AMIGO

2. AMIGO - Advanced Mesh Intelligent Generation Option

The most important element of the new QW-Editor is the AMIGO system. AMIGO formally stands for the Advanced Mesh Intelligent Generation Option but it really plays a very friendly role, in accordance with the abbreviated name. It serves two purposes. Firstly, it optimises the meshing so as to provide requested wavelength resolution in all media while avoiding small cells. Secondly, it allows fast setting of frequency ranges for all ports as well as S-parameter and FD-Probing postprocessings. Additionally, it shows useful information about: details of structure definition that cannot be modelled within requested mesh constraints, time step forced by the current mesh, expected duration of the analysis, and allows setting automatic stop criteria.

Consider Standard/Dielf/dielf1a.pro example which concerns a cylindrical dielectric resonator placed in a rectangular waveguide.

Basic description of AMIGO is given in Section E 2.1.1 of the QW-Editor Reference Guide. Examples of application are described in Section UG 2.16.
