I was hoping for some wisdom from the crowd too. I am not a microwave
dark artist and we have a resident phd in physics who might have a
thing or two to say.

Igor2 and I were talking about it last night. We got really excited
about FEM solvers but does anyone here really want / have the ability
to use this?
