An Error message while running - Geometry error

[Uri]

Hello all,

I'm new to NEC and this forum, so I apologize in advance if the issue had been brought in the past.

I try to run an input file in both NEC2 and NEC4.2 and I encounter an error message that terminates the execution.

It seems that for some reason the NEC is tapering the radius of the wire, without getting the command to do so.

The section in the input file that gives the error is:

GW 1511, 1, 0.263965, 0.000000, 67.360800, 0.263965, 0.000000, 68.034408, 0.0127
GW 1512, 1, -0.131982, 0.228600, 67.360800, -0.131982, 0.228600, 68.034408, 0.0127
GW 1513, 1, -0.131982, -0.228600, 67.360800, -0.131982, -0.228600, 68.034408, 0.0127

In NEC2 the output is (corresponding lines):

Thanks.

I think we are talking about another NEC but, there may be an engineer here that can help you.

oh boy.

I was talking about

Numerical Electromagnetics Code

Looks like the same thing to me -- they're both gibberish.
