4 Nec 2

1. This document provides a short reference card for the Nec2 electromagnetic modeling software, listing some of the main card types and their functions. 2. Key card types include geometry cards (GW, GM, GR) for defining wire structures, excitation cards (EX, PQ, PT) for applying voltages or currents, material property cards (GE, GN) for ground planes and materials, and calculation setup cards (FR, RP) for frequencies and radiation patterns. 3. The document notes that this is not a complete reference and users should consult the full Nec2 manual for details on properly filling out cards for electromagnetic simulations.
