A more efficient way of modelling antennas

We are pleased to announce the release of GRASP 10. With a brand new, modern interface and intuitive functionality GRASP sets the new standard for reflector antenna modelling tools

The new GRASP 10 comes with a fully redesigned GUI, which has been built from the ground. GRASP now offers a more intuitive way of setting up of the antenna design and of controlling the modelling. In addition, the new version offers a structured project management which makes it easier to run multiple analyses and visualize and compare results faster. At the same time we have laid down the tracks for an upcoming integration of post-processing functionalities as well as a tighter integration of the TICRA software suite.

The aim has been to develop a more intuitive GUI  which makes the modelling of reflector antennas more efficient for both the experienced and the inexperienced user, while maintaining the high accuracy and speed which has always been the hallmark of GRASP. Based on the feedback from our beta-testers, we have succeeded!

Intuitive way of setting up the antenna design

The comprehensible GUI consists of menus, tool-bars and tabs that provide easy access to individual parts of the program. A wizard is available for fast setup of antenna geometries. In addition to the well-known single paraboloids, centre-fed and offset Cassegrain/Gregorian antennas we now also support axially-displaced (ring-focus) dual-reflector systems.
