In this application note, we demonstrate how to use [[EM.Tempo]] to compute and analyze the radiation pattern of a patch antenna installed on a vehicular platform. Specifically, the CAD model of a Volkswagen Golf automobile is first imported to [[EM.Cube]]. Then, a microstrip patch antenna with a finite-sized substrate is placed at different locations of the car's body.

To import the CAD model of a commercial aircraft platform to [[EM.Cube]] and analyze the performance of a monopole antenna mounted on its top using [[EM.Cube]]'s FDTD simulator.

In this tutorial you will continue exploring how to solve large computational problems involving millions of mesh cells.
