Modeling
CST Studio Suite offers a powerful and fully parametric CAD interface for constructing and editing simulation models. Import and export tools mean that models can imported from a wide range of CAD and electronic design automation (EDA) software. The fully parametric two-way link to SOLIDWORKS means that design changes made in CST Studio Suite can be imported directly back into the SOLIDWORKS project, and vice versa.
Materials
There are many application areas, such as magnetics, photonics and biological physics, where the characteristic electromagnetic effects come about as a result of complex non-linear material properties. CST Studio Suite includes numerous material models to allow a vast array of phenomena to be simulated, including plasmonic and photonic effects, ferromagnetism, secondary electron emission and biological heating.
Body models
The interaction of EM fields in the human body is a crucial design consideration for many devices, and informs both product performance and safety – especially in healthcare and life sciences. CST Studio Suite includes both voxel-based and
DESIGN ENVIRONMENTCAD-based body models with detailed internal structure and realistic EM and thermal properties, allowing the human body to be taken into consideration.
Meshing
Accurate meshing is an essential part of the simulation process. CST Studio Suite provides fast, automatic meshing, with mesh refinement and automatic adaptation to increase the quality of the mesh in critical parts of the model. The proprietary Perfect Boundary Approximation (PBA)® used by CST Studio Suite retains the speed advantages associated with a conventional staircase mesh, even for models with billions of mesh cells, but allows curved structures and complex CAD data to be modeled accurately.
Synthesis
CST Studio Suite offers a range of synthesis tools for automatically building models of potential designs. These include Filter Designer 2D for planar filters, Filter Designer 3D for cross-coupled cavity filters and the Array Wizard for antenna arrays. In addition, the software offers links to the SIMULIA electromagnetic tools Antenna Magus for antenna design and FEST3D for waveguide design.
