NEC2++: High-Performance Numerical Electromagnetics Code

We describe NEC2++, an open-source numerical electromagnetics code compatible with NEC-2. This object oriented C++ code, derived from the original FORTRAN, provides an extremely high performance, readable, modular foundation for research into numerical electromagnetism and antenna simulation. In addition, the NEC2++ code has a C API and can be compiled into a library for inclusion into other software – for example automatic antenna design optimisation systems, plugins for other languages, and graphical front-ends. We present an example of the use of NEC2++ for genetic antenna optimization.
