Introduction to CST Studio Suite
Introducing the fundamental course for Electromagnetic Simulation Analysts - Introduction to CST Studio Suite. Throughout this course, you will become familiar with the basic usage of CST STUDIO SUITE in terms of its modeling and simulation capabilities. You will learn about the general setup, submission, and result analysis procedures for high-frequency 3D electromagnetic simulations. This class will also introduce the various high frequency solvers available CST MICROWAVE STUDIO and provide a behind-the-scenes look into the FIT and FEM algorithms for the general purpose Time-Doman and Frequency- Domain solvers respectively.
This course will cover the following:
- Navigate the general layout of the CST STUDIO SUITE interface
- Generate CAD geometries within the native modeling interface
- Set up the project environment with the desired units, frequency settings, background materials and boundary conditions
- Understand the various material types that exist and how to define them
- Setup excitations using lumped elements and waveguide ports
- Setup result monitors to obtain 2D/3D field data
- Choose and set up the most appropriate solver and algorithm for high frequency applications.
- Run Time-Domain (FIT) and Frequency-Domain (FEM) simulations including parametric sweeps and optimizations.
- Analyze simulation results such as S-parameters, voltages, currents, 3D nearfields and Farfields.
- Extract data from the standard result set through the use of post- processing templates
The course is divided into lectures, demonstrations and workshops. The course's workshops are integral to the training. They are designed to reinforce concepts presented during the lectures and demonstrations.
