This new technique relies on solving the Integral Equation (IE) that provides the well-known Boundary Integral - Resonant Mode Expansion (Bi-RME) method by the Nystrom approach, instead of using the traditional Galerkin version of the Method of Moments (MoM), thus providing large savings on computational costs. Comparative benchmarks between the results provided by the new technique and the original BI-RME method are successfully presented.
