Good afternoon guys,

Hope you're doing well! I'm in the process of creating a model simulating the response of a reinforced concrete pad, overlying some soil. I've been running into an error with the inbuilt GSSI 1.5GHz antenna saying one of the box commands has lower defining coordinates greater than its upper defining coordinates. This doesn't seem to make sense, though, having looked at the coordinates it gives in the exception:

I'll attach the input file I've been using too.

Kind regards,

Hi Jack,

The issue is because the spatial resolution of your overall model is 5mm but the resolution of the antenna model is set to 2mm (which is the largest spatial resolution available for that antenna model). Therefore the antenna coordinates are being discretised and rounded in steps of 5mm which means some of the smaller #box dimensions won't work. Further up (not shown in your screenshot) should be an error message to this effect.

Kind regards,
Craig

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't see the error message, but I am perhaps not seeing something obvious. Decreasing the spatial resolution of the model did work, though! Ran into a different problem now with memory requirements; my poor laptop doesn't hack it. Will try on a more powerful computer.

Kind regards,
Jack
