Hey guys, of course I can't be sure about CST. I'm not even sure about Eznec. I know enough to be dangerous.
In Eznec there is and elevator control in the Antenna View that controls the appearance of the current distribution magnitude, and is probably for illustration purposes only. You can make the current lines drawn look big or small. We can't assume anything regarding the images and the currents except the actual A/m numbers as fact base on each individual model generated.
I can't explain the differences suggested here, if the differences are in fact accurate and also useful for comparison, which I seriously doubt. We just don't have a full understanding for the meanings, nor the significance of the information we see from two different model's input data.
Usually the current amperage magnitude is a standardize value set within the NEC engine, and I think it is something like 1-3 amps. However, the current values generated are controlled by the number of segments assigned to each wire and that can make the current values just about any amperage/per meter,inch,foot.
Quit looking for the real meaning in pictures.
IMO, comparing the appearance of the pictorial dimensions for two different images in totally unrelated periodicals and/or method of moments modeling is problematic.
Would you like to see a demonstration model? I can make em' look like Marilyn, Twiggie, or Popeye's Olive Oyl.
