"Familiar Interface, Fast Setup, and Accurate Simulations"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Altair Feko?

I like the interface of Altair Feko because it's similar to other Altair products, making it easier for me to know where most of the functions are. I find the disposition of buttons and how everything is structured in the interface particularly helpful. Additionally, the software allows fast simulation setup with results that seem realistic and are able to correlate correctly with reality. I also really like the meshing capabilities, which I believe are some of the best in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair Feko?

I dislike some bugs, such as segmentation errors that sometimes tend to make me angry. It happens that the program crashes sometimes, making the user lose progress if not saved, which is sometimes frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and Easy to Use, with Room to Grow"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Altair Feko?

It is fast and easy to use. In addition to the full wave solvers, it also provides asymptotic methods such as PO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair Feko?

Having separate applications for setup (CADFEKO) and results analysis (POSTFEKO) can feel fragmented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Altair Feko solving and how is that benefiting you?

We utilize Altair Feko as a cornerstone of our EM labs and antenna courses to bridge the gap between complex electromagnetic theory and real-world engineering applications. By providing an intuitive environment that students can master quickly, Feko enables our learners to focus on physical intuition, such as radiation patterns and reflection coefficients, rather than struggling with the software interface.

What do you like best about Altair Feko?

EMC Simulation of Near and far field Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair Feko?

I am facing issues in constructing the CAD model; it's not user-friendly. Whereas in other CAD software, I can easily construct the required 2D structures, but here I have to choose start point end point. It's difficult to understand and work on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Feko is a computational electromagnetics software product developed by Altair Engineering."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Altair Feko?

To optimize wireless connectivity, including 5G, ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and perform radar cross section (RCS) and scattering analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair Feko?

FEM region is bounded with an integral equation based boundary condition to ensure full coupling between the FEM and MoM solution areas of the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Altair Feko solving and how is that benefiting you?

The software is based on the Method of Moments (MoM) integral formulation of Maxwell's equations and pioneered the commercial implementation of various hybrid methods such as:

Finite Element Method (FEM) / MoM where a FEM region is bounded with an integral equation based boundary condition to ensure full coupling between the FEM and MoM solution areas of the problem.

MoM / Physical Optics (PO) where computationally expensive MoM current elements are used to excite computationally inexpensive PO elements, inducing currents on the PO elements. Special features in the FEKO implementation of the MoM/PO hybrid include the analysis of dielectric or magnetically coated metallic surfaces.

MoM / Geometrical Optics (GO) where rays are launched from radiating MoM elements.

MoM / Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) where computationally expensive MoM current elements are used to excite canonical UTD shapes (plates, cylinders) with ray-based principles of which the computational cost is independent of wavelength.

A Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) solver was added in May 2014 with the release of FEKO Suite 7.0. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
