CST STUDIO SUITE 2013

The electromagnetic simulation software CST STUDIO SUITE® offers leading edge computational solutions to electromagnetic design challenges. From static to optical and from the nanoscale to the electrically large, tools are available for the design, simulation and optimization of a wide range of devices. In our 2013 release, we have integrated specialized features to accommodate the needs of engineers better. A highly adaptable project wizard and a Ribbon-based GUI create a fluid workflow, which together with optimized solver technology ensure usability and performance without compromise.

Workflow Integration

With a focus on workflow integration, CST STUDIO SUITE has been enhanced to guide users through simulation projects with ease. The project wizard makes it simple to switch between projects and customize the package for a wide range of applications through its extensive portfolio of preconfigured simulation types. Custom configurations based on the user’s own experiences can also be stored and loaded with the wizard for a personalized workflow. The Ribbon-based user interface groups features and menus according to their place in the simulation process and the easy-to-use tab system makes it easier to access tools. Showing only the most relevant options, this intuitive feature helps to guide the engineer each step of the way.

Design Environment

CST STUDIO SUITE benefits from an integrated design environment that gives access to an entire range of solver technologies and allows several projects to be opened simultaneously in a single front-end. This easy-to-use graphical user interface is a common feature in all the CST 3D simulators and creates whole new avenues of possibilities for coupled simulation.

Complete Technology

The Complete Technology approach of CST STUDIO SUITE enables users to switch from one solver to another without changing the model and parametric settings. In the 2013 release our solver technology has been optimized to utilize the power of the latest generation of processors. Simulation performance is strongly dependent on choosing the optimal solver, and with these improvements not only can users choose the most appropriate method for each problem, the simulation run time can also be significantly reduced.

Users of CST STUDIO SUITE can enjoy considerable product-to-market advantages such as shorter development cycles, virtual prototyping before physical trials, and optimization instead of experimentation. The modules that comprise CST STUDIO SUITE are tightly integrated, giving users access to the entire range of solver technology and allowing circuit and multiphysics co-simulation.
