The proximity_effects branch uses FastHenry2 to calculate frequency dependent
Resistance, [R], and Inductance, [L], matrices which include proximity effects. 

The frequency dependent [R] and [L] are then used to develop improved cable models which incorporate proximity effects. 

INSTALLATION NOTES:

The software in the proximity_effect branch is compiled in exactly the 
same way as the original SACAMOS software. 

fasthenry will need to be installed and fasthenry executable directory 
must be in the users $PATH

The SACAMOS/bin directory must also be in the users $PATH so as to be able to run write_FH_input_file which creates input files for fasthenry.

PROXIMITY_EFFECT_TEST_CASES

A set of proximity effect test cases may be found in the directory:
PROXIMITY_EFFECT_TEST_CASES

There are a number of sub-directories, each corresponding to a particular scenario.
The sub-directories may contain a number of SACAMOS test runs with different 
flags set in the input files to deomonstrate particular aspects of the model, and
also to create comparison results with the original SACAMOS models (no use of fasthenry).

The full set of test cases can be run from the PROXIMITY_EFFECT_TEST_CASES directory with the command

run_test_cases

The results must be viewed by going to the individual test case directories.
