CST STUDIO SUITE The CST STUDIO SUITE graphical user interface, showing E-fields inside a mobile phone. Simulation allows a detailed analysis of the entire phone, including antenna performance, specific absorption rate (SAR), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and signal integrity (SI).

Why Simulate? Getting the design right first time is the ideal for product development. With virtual prototyping electromagnetic simulation can help you to cut down design iteration cycles. Simulation allows systems and components to be analyzed and optimized in their environment from the earliest stages of development. This can make the design process faster, reducing development costs and time-to-market. CST STUDIO SUITE® is a package of tools for designing, simulating and optimizing electromagnetic systems, and is used in leading technology and engineering companies around the world. The...

Accuracy Read Frauscher Sensor Technology’s success story at www.cst.com/FST2017 Accurate simulation: Excellent agreement between simulation and measurement in the response curves of a Frauscher RSR180 wheel sensor. “ ST STUDIO SUITE gave us the ability to C quickly and accurately model our sensors including all complex interactions with the surrounding environment that just wouldn’t have been possible experimentally. The additional understanding will be invaluable in designing our future generations of sensors. In addition, I commend the friendly and competent CST staff who, albeit...

This accuracy has allowed customers in many application areas who use CST  STUDIO  SUITE to construct virtual prototypes that mimic the behavior of the real device, saving time and money in the design cycle. Complete Technology: Simulating a magnetron requires high-frequency, static, thermal, mechanical and particle effects to be taken into account. For some...

Powerful Modeling Tools S-Parameters [Magnitude in dB] MATERIAL TYPES IN CST STUDIO SUITE INCLUDE: Dielectrics Lossy metals Anisotropic materials Time-dependent materials Temperature-dependent materials Graded materials Dispersive materials ■■ Debye model Lorentz model Drude model Electric and magnetic gyrotropic SMD filter to be simulated with excellent accuracy. An accurate simulation requires an accurate model. This means that the model has to represent the real-world object and capture the full range of phenomena that can affect its EM performance. CST  STUDIO  SUITE includes a powerful...

Multiphysics Electromagnetism is closely linked to other fields of physics, including mechanics and thermodynamics. Multiphysics analysis is therefore necessary in the design of many different components, from motors and generators to induction heaters and microwave ovens. In many cases, electric and magnetic effects are inseparable from thermal and mechanical effects – for example, a high-power filter will heat up when in use, and this can cause thermal deformation that affects the performance of the filter. The link to SIMULIA® strengthens CST’s multiphysics offering further. For more...

Robust, Accurate Meshing Meshing techniques: Various meshing strategies for a simple reflector antenna: staircase, curved tetrahedral, curved hybrid surface, and the proprietary CST technology PBA. In simulation, structures and fields are discretized onto a mesh. Each additional cell increases the computational requirements of the simulation, which means that it is advantageous if the mesh accurately describes the model while using as few mesh cells as possible. CST STUDIO SUITE includes hexahedral and tetrahedral volume meshes and hybrid triangular and quadrilateral surface meshes, with...

Automatic Optimization Antenna optimization: A microstrip patch array, optimized to improve transmission in the WLAN frequency band, before (left) and after (right) optimization. The number of variables that affect the performance of even the simplest device can be overwhelming. Optimization automates the process of tuning these variables, with the goal of finding a set of values that satisfies the design requirements. The built-in optimizers in all CST STUDIO SUITE modules can be used to optimize any parameter, including the geometry of the model, the properties of the materials and the...
