Good field solvers are inherently more accurate, because they take
into account the non-uniformity of the field at the trace edges.

--> Dmitri,

--> All,

--> The main accuracy issue we've seen with W - elements
--> is not the W element

--> frequencies, the value for Rs can have a dominant
--> damping effect that causes
