Here is a PDF with a summary/log of my work trying to integrate an ice shell surrounding the bicone antennas in the GENETIS loop. I made gain patterns of the ARA bicone with the ice shells and without them, showing the impact of the ice on the antenna's gain. Having an ice shell changes these patterns, which are also dependent on the radius of the shell. I showed that convergence on the gain patterns and expected features start ocurring for shells with radii larger than 10 meters. I also keep track of the computation time which increases with bigger shells.

Note: I also add PowerPoint slides that contain all the graphs that I made. The PDF does not contain some of those since I didn't think they were coherent with my write-up, but I may be making an omission.
