    When the stop button is pushed in the task manager, while a simulation is running, it will generate an event that is equivalent to "enforcing" a "convergence reached" state from the solver perspective. That's why the following log will appear inside the Solver-Log tab

    WARNING: [...] Simulation end request received. The solvers starts to consider this. Steady state detected at iteration x, remaining time steps are y. Simulation performed z iterations. Elapsed time for 'Time Update' was xx:xx:xx wall clock time.

    Hi, I am using sim4life to estimate the efficiency (the ratio between the EM radiated power and the electrical power delivered to the antenna) of a communication antenna for an implantable device. What would be the best way to do it?

    So far my approach has been the following:

    Perform an FDTD simulation. Extract the "Overall Field" sensor. Choose "Power balance".

    However, I get a radiated power nearly ten times less than the input power (even at ideal conditions, without any losses).

    I have also tried integrating the Poynting vector over a surface to get the radiated power and extracting the input power sensor, however, I get nearly the same results.

    How can I simulate the efficiency of an antenna using sim4life?
