== Simulating the Patch Antenna on the Vehicle's Hood== Next, we move the patch antenna onto the front hood of the Golf model as shown in the figure below. <table><tr><td>[[Image:Hood mount.png|thumb|left|420px| The location of the patch antenna on the vehicle's hood.]]</td></tr></table> By default, [[EM.Tempo]]'s mesh generator tries to place grid points at the corners of each graphic object's bounding box, and also at any internal boundaries any object may have. For models with a large number of complex geometric objects, this could drive the typical mesh cell size toward the "Absolute Minimum Grid Spacing", and would result in a much denser mesh than is required. Since the Golf model has more than 2000 distinct graphic objects, we will turn off some of these adaptive mesh options. A mesh density of 18 cells per effective wavelength is chosen for this structure with the absolute minimum grid spacing parameter set equal to 0.75mm. The figures below show the Yee mesh of the whole vehicle structure as well as the portion of the roof in the proximity of the installed patch antenna. The overall mesh involves <b><u>220 million</u></b> cells.
