It returns a spice-compatible description of an +equivalent circuit of stray capacitances that can be for example used +for more accurate circuit simulation. Alternatively it can also +produce field data that can be plotted for example with Gnuplot. + +Support for calculating resistances existed for a while but was later +removed because it didn't receive much testing. + +Nelma is available under the GNU General Public License version 2. |
