Using just 100 sections so that software testing has a quick cycle. Less than 5 mins to compute the first few normal modes and to decompose the starting conditions into the mode amplitudes. Only for the linear case. The nonlinear case will require a set of modes to be computed for each of a range of load conductances and capacitances, say 10 of them, so that would be 50 mins. Change the primary cap or winding positions, or topload, and thats another 50 min wait, so in the end it won't really be that quick. I've typed up a few more notes, pages 8-23 in http://www.abelian.demon.co.uk/tssp/tmp/pn1401-p8-23.pdf introduces the primary coupling stuff. Hastily typed in so lots of mistakes - I'm afraid documentation is lagging well behind the software at the moment. I'll respond to your other email regarding load impedance measurements etc, after I've had time to ponder what I think is required - don't want to waste anyone's effort on ill thought out tests.
