Antenna Modeler and Optimizer using 4nec2 software

For antenna design model and optimize the design for analyse and calculate pattern and calculate Power of Receive and Transmit Power of antenna , I am using free and open source antenna modeler and optimizer 4nec2 from Arie Voors.
You can download in here http://www.qsl.net/4nec2/
or Download from my GDrive 
4nec2 support Windows operating systems and also Linux by installing Wine Software before installing 4nec2.
Feature from 4nec2 software : I get this from http://www.qsl.net/4nec2/ :

* Graphical 2D and 3D visualization of Far- and Near-field data and Geometry strutures (including circular polarization view).

 * Line-chart visualization for freq-sweep Gain, F/B, F/R, SWR and impedance data. * Drag and drop style Geometry Editor to assist the starting antenne modeller.

* Full Nec2 and Nec4 command support, including GX, GM, GR, GA, GH and surface patches.
* Capable of running up to 11000 wires and/or segments (limited by the max of 2Gb of windows on-board memory)

* Support for inclusion of surface-wave component in far-field data. * 3D geometry display for surface patches included.

* Variable substitution included for complete Nec2/4 command set enabling you to model by equation. * Sophisticated real-time 3D geometry and pattern viewer showing real wire-radius.

* AO-style gradient/hill-climbing optimizer included.

* Genetic Algorithms based optimizer included.

* Automatic variable sweeper with line-chart output.

 * Automatic convergence tester with line-chart output.

* Interactive Smith chart visualization for freq-sweeps.

* Integrated Sommerfeld ground calculations with frequency-sweep.

* Automatic generation of VOACAP propagation prediction type 13 and –14 antenna files.
* Automatic coversion of AO (*.ant)and EZnec (*.ez)input files.

 * ‘Insulated-Wire’ and 'LC-trap' loading-types included.

* Automatic conversion for feet, inch, #awg to meters and elevation/azimuth to phi/theta and reverse.

* Batch processing for automatic testing, calculation and/or conversion of multiple Nec, AO and/or EZnec input-files.

* Extensive segment- en geometry validation, such as: Intersecting volumes, Short/thick wires at sharp angle, Unequal segmentation for parallel wires, Too low hight, Large radius or length changes at junctions, etc.

 * Screen grabber for easy cut/paste, print or save parts of the screen, window or form. * Geometry builder to create cylindric, patch, plane, box, helix and parabola shaped structures using auto-segmentation and/or equal-area rules.

* Automatic generation of Stub-, L-, Pi- and Tee-matching-networks (low- and high-pass)

* Visualization of circular polarization components E(left) and E(right) for far-field. * EZnec style MiniNec ground included.

 * Capable of running the default Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories Nec4 engine.

* Running on all systems from early Windows-95 to latest Windows-Vista * More than 450 example files

* Context sensitive Help-file.

* Completely free.

 For tutorial 4nec2 you can get free on http://www.qsl.net/4nec2/Tutorial_4NEC2_english.pdf , I will also writing the tutorial for you with different example and different antenna design.

The example will talking about design 300 MHz antenna with SWR 1.48 , and wavelength 0.999 meter and input power antenna 100 Watt. See at the picture below from 4nec2 software :
  
On The example we can get information about frequency 300 MHz, wavelength 0.999 meter , SWR 50 1.48 , efficiency 97.53 % , antenna wire on xyz position and we can also can see smith chart calculation 

Antenna Pattern also can be view from the software :
And also 2D and 3D antenna simulation signal from antenna , can be calculate and view by this software :
