1 WinField Release 2018 optimized for Windows 10 The new features at a glance: New DC Corona Noise Spectrum according to DIN Spec 8987 Input of antenna power either as P-, ERP- or EIRP-value New bandpass filter for variable HF-calculations implemented Export of calculation data as *.agr ArcInfo Grid-ASCII Multi-Import of several *.dxf building files New block libraries for switch gears, trains, ships and high-rise buildings Block libraries for streets, fences etc. are now adapting to the ground profile New libraries for single- and double-track railway lines with poles DXF-import of circular arcs for cables for detailed simulation Up to double calculation velocity for B-, E-Field and Audible Noise Virtual Reality Interface: The block libraries were extended by elements such as trains, ships, office buildings and high-rise buildings. Some of the street and fence elements were designed in an adaptive form so that they adjust to the surrounding terrain.

2 New Calculation Functions: The calculation velocity for B-, E-field and Audible Noise was nearly doubled for large projects. The main reason for that is an improvment of the dynamic interpolation. In combination with the use of distance limit, which produces sharp edges on the limit-borders, the dynamic interpolation was speeded up in these sectors. Furthermore, when there are several transmission lines in one project, the space in between the lines is skipped by the dynamic interpolation. For large projects, the calculation of the electric field was accelerated by reducing the number of segments outside of the currently zoomed area of the calculation field to seg=1. Therefore the potential-coefficient-matrix is reduced significantly which results in an improved performance. The option Distance Limit was removed for the HF-mode because due to very different power levels of HF-sources this option couldn t be used in an appropriate form, anyway. As an alternative one can use the option Limit for transmitter in the dialog Shielding and Reflection Settings. Instead of the antenna power, ERP or EIRP-values can now be used. Those values are conected with the gain and are converted into each other. A new dialog was implemented which allows to set a bandpass filter for calculations in the HF-mode. Fig.: Bandpass filter dialog for the HF-mode A DC-spectrum is now incorporated as an additional spectrum for Audible Noise calculation. When DC or mixed AC/DCgeometries are used, every object is allocated the right spectrum during QSI-data-export.

4 Cartographic Data You can also insert GPS-coordinates in the coordinate list, if you name the list *.GPS instead of *.kor. If you open the list in WinField, it is converted automatically to UTM-coordinates Fig.: Coordinate list in UTM-coordinates which were generated by importing GPS-coordinates Extension of block libraries: Also this year, the block libraries were extended by switch gears, especially from the manuacturers ABB, Schneider, Selmoni, Ormazabal. In the railway library new sections for single- and doubletrack railway lines which include the corresponding poles, contact wires and supporting rope were added. Improved User Interface: During the import of projects in *.xls format, the ground wire references are corrected automatically if they were not setted correctly by the exporting software so that WinField can always provide a proper and usable geometry. Only real buildings are exported during the QSI-export. Cases which are used as GIS-tubes are not taken into account. When points are selected during a field calculation in order to display the field strengthes on their position the values are highlighted with a grey textfield for better legibility. The number of decimal places corresponds to the number of decimal places set for the geometry window. New Construction Functions

5 It is now possible to import buildings from more than one *.dxf-file at the same time. The dialog Edit Elements now has hotkeys so that it can be used even faster. Fig.: Edit Elements dialog with hotkeys General Improments: The checkbox dbi from beamwidth for HFsources was revised so that it stays activated during changes of patterns and after closing and re-opening the dialog. The colored labels in the data windows and the diagrams in the statistic window have new colors which are less glaring and better legible. You can now export calculation data as an *.agrfile. This is possible for both horizontal and vertical calculation planes. For evaluation whether an only 2D calculation is sufficient or a 3D-calculation is necessary - for cases like crossing of transmission lines - for an Audible Noise calculation or a QSI export, a catalouge of examples is availablle in the directory \Example\QS\catalog_2Dvs3D The hardlock drivers are up to date. Data Import: Fig.: Diagram in x-axis-window with new color setting When geometries are imported from *.dxf-files which were created in AutoCAD, etc. circular arcs can now be loaded into WinField. These arcs can especially appear in cable systems and lead to a significantly improved modelling.
