CST STUDIO SUITE 2018 introduces the ability to calculate farfields on multilayer substrates, which is useful both for photonic applications and for simulating antennas printed on complex PCBs.īehind the scenes, the core of the software is as ever fine-tuned to optimize performance on the latest hardware, and CST STUDIO SUITE is being introduced to the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform with links to other SIMULIA tools. It also now allows simulations to be set up using wavelength rather than frequency. Photonic and terahertz applications are a growing trend, and CST STUDIO SUITE offers a new alternative interface for these areas, with direct access to optical features. This means that the optimizers have access to the coupling matrix calculation, allowing faster and more intelligent filter tuning. Body models using the tetrahedral mesh can now move realistically to simulate breathing, which is important in the design of medical devices.įilter Designer 3D, CST’s tool for designing cross-coupled filters and calculating coupling matrices, is now connected directly to the powerful optimizers in CST STUDIO SUITE. This isĬomplemented by new features for EM/circuit co-simulation and the Hybrid Solver Task providing bidirectional solver coupling between the Time Domain and Integral Equation Solvers – a major step forward for hybrid simulation.įor bio-EM simulations, the voxel poser tool, previously a separate product, is now integrated directly into the CST STUDIO SUITE interface, offering users direct access to the voxel poser during the modeling process. In 2018, the improved Assembly Modeler offers users a more efficient way to combine multiple components into a system employing a 3D environment optimized for complex models. One key strength of CST STUDIO SUITE is the ability to link multiple simulations with different solvers into a single workflow with System Assembly and Modeling (SAM).
