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 information,...

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 different...
