Mar. 11, 2011 – (CST) Computer Simulation Technology announces the start of a worldwide series of free workshops.

The breakneck pace of new product launches and the highly competitive nature of today's most advanced technology are causing stress in design departments to skyrocket. Innovation, design, simulation, prototyping and certification are all being squeezed into shorter and shorter timeframes and there is a growing danger that the "electrical integrity" or electromagnetic performance of a device may be compromised in a shipped product.

A major aid in the process is fast and reliable electromagnetic simulation software in both the early "what if" stages of design and in the later verification and certification stages. Starting in March 2011, with a worldwide series of workshops, CST will be showing how its CST STUDIO SUITE version 2011 software has become a critical tool for speeding up the design cycle and ensuring high performance and reliability at all stages. Engineers and management interested in high frequency or high data rate design are encouraged and welcome to attend these FREE events.

The workshops will look at the key benefits of recent releases and how advances in high performance computing have pushed the envelope of simulation complexity and radically reduced turnaround times.

Three main application areas will be covered:
• Microwave and RF design with a focus on antennas and antenna placement.
• Signal and power integrity in high speed circuits and how CST works with technology partners like Cadence to create optimized workflows.
• Controlling emissions and susceptibility to meet regulatory requirements.
