<p>Here are a number of examples of using <COde>atlc</code>. Most of the example files can be found in the examples directory or if atlc is installed on the system, they will normally be located at /usr/local/share/atlc/examples. The very largest files, are not distributed to save disk space.</p>

The full details of exactly what the files mean is given <a href="fileformat.html">here.</a>
<p>In the case of the open structures (such as microstrip or twin-wire cables) the electric field extends to infinity, as there is no surrounding conductor like in the case of the coax, u-shaped conductor of the very odd shape. By putting an open structure onto a finite grid, which does not extend to infintiy, we have introduced an error. You should check that the electric field in the file <code>
of such structures is zero close to the edges - if not, a significant error will be introduced. </p>
