In this article, we present a MATLAB program capable of transforming three‐dimensional (3‐D) models representing metallic bodies of arbitrary shape into wire‐grid models accepted by the Numerical Electromagnetic Code (NEC). The NEC is a computer program that allows the electromagnetic analysis of both wires and metallic surfaces using the method of moments. On the other hand, 3‐D models can be performed through computer‐aided design programs. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Comput Appl Eng Educ 7: 31–43, 1999
