The complete simulation, including meshing, time-stepping, and farfield calculation took 5 hours, 50 minutes on the above-mentioned Amazon instance. The average performance of the timeloop was about 330 MCells/s. The farfield computation requires a significant portion of the total simulation time. The farfield computation could have been reduced with larger theta and phi increments, but, as mentioned previously, for electrically large structures, resolutions of 1 degree or less are required.

After the simulation is complete, we can see the RCS pattern as shown below. We can also plot 2D cartesian and polar cuts from the Data Manager.
