Electromagnetic Field Simulation From SIMULIA

Electromagnetic components are crucial to the success of an ever-increasing range of products. With general-purpose and specialized solvers for applications across the electromagnetic spectrum within a single user interface, CST Studio Suite enables rapid, flexible, and efficient development cycles.  

Your products will always hit performance specifications, meet legal electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and exposure limits and avoid time-consuming redesigns or costly recalls. 

Key Features

Features
SIMULIA CST
Solvers
Use general-purpose and specialized solvers for applications across the electromagnetic spectrum. Solve in the Time of Frequency domain using hexahedral or tetrahedral mesh and switch between them as desired.
Hybrid Simulation
Solvers can be coupled with each other to simulate complex systems.
Multiphysics
Simulate multiphysics effects by coupling the included thermal (steady state, conjugate heat transfer, and transient) and structural mechanics solvers.
Optimization
Use built-in local and global optimizers with all solvers to improve performance, meet specifications, or reduce cost while saving manual simulation time.
Materials
Simulate a vast array of phenomena with numerous material models, including plasmonic and photonic effects, ferromagnetism, secondary electron emission, non-linear materials, and biological heating.
Meshing
Use fast, automatic meshing, with mesh refinement and automatic adaptation, to increase mesh quality in critical parts of the model. Multiple mesh types, including tetrahedral, hexahedral, and specialty meshes, are automatically selected based on the solver choice and can be user-defined.
Parametric SOLIDWORKS Link
Import design changes back and forth between SOLIDWORKS and SIMULIA CST automatically.
Parametric Modeling
Create and edit models with the built-in, fully parametric CAD interface.
Synthesis Tools
Build models automatically with Filter Designer 2D for planar filters, Filter Designer 3D for cross-coupled cavity filters, Array Wizard for antenna arrays, Antenna Magus for antenna design, and FEST3D for waveguide design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of solver does SIMULIA CST Studio Suite use?

CST offers a complete package of solvers for problems from statics to high frequency, including general purpose solvers like the Time Domain and Frequency Domain solvers suitable for a wide range of scenarios, as well as more specialized solvers for applications such as motors, circuit boards, and cable harnesses.

Can SIMULIA CST Studio Suite perform multiphysics simulations?

Yes. CST offers thermal and structural mechanics solvers, which can be coupled with the EM solvers for an integrated workflow.

Does SIMULIA CST Studio Suite integrate with SOLIDWORKS?

Yes. Parametric linking to SOLIDWORKS means you can easily make model changes, enabling rapid iteration and optimization.

How is SIMULIA CST Studio Suite licensed?

Both perpetual licensing (with subscription) and term licensing are available.

What is the difference between CST and Opera?

SIMULIA Opera complements CST with its strength in low frequency simulation, which is useful for the design of magnets, electric motors, and other electrical machines. Our team can help you determine which EM simulation software is best for your scenario.
