Running a CST High Frequency Electromagnetic Simulation

You can save a CST® high frequency simulation to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform from CST Studio Suite using the Connector for CST, and then submit the simulation to run on the cloud with Simulation Manager.

Before you begin: Create a high frequency model in CST Studio Suite.

  1. Save the CST model to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using the Connector for CST.

    For more information, see the Connector for CST User's Guide.

  2. From a dashboard, open Simulation Manager.
  3. From the simulations panel on the left, select the CST high frequency simulation.
  4. From the toolbar in the details panel or the simulations panel, click Run .
    The run configuration options for a CST simulation appear.
  5. From the License options, select one of the following:
    OptionDescription
    Tokens Licensing items that are checked out from the license pool to run the simulation and then returned when it is complete.
    Credits One-time consumable licensing items.

    For more information about tokens and credits, see Simulation Licensing.

  6. Select from the following Solver types:
    OptionDescription
    Time domain A multipurpose 3D full-wave solver, with both finite integration technique (FIT) and transmission line matrix (TLM) implementations included in a single package.
    Frequency domain A multipurpose 3D full-wave solver based on the finite element method (FEM).
    Integral equation A 3D full-wave solver, based on the method of moments (MOM) technique with the multilevel fast multipole method (MLFMM). The Integral Equation Solver uses a surface integral technique and includes a characteristic mode analysis (CMA) feature that calculates the modes supported by a structure.
    Asymptotic A ray tracing solver, which is efficient for extremely large structures where a full-wave solver is unnecessary. The Asymptotic Solver is based on the Shooting Bouncing Ray (SBR) method.
    Eigenmode

    The Eigenmode Solver is a 3D solver for simulating resonant structures, incorporating the Advanced Krylov Subspace method (AKS) and the Jacobi-Davidson method (JDM).
  7. Specify the Configuration for computing the simulation.

    The available configurations depend on the model you are simulating. For Time domain, Simulation Manager provides a default option that selects the compute configuration that should run your simulation most efficiently and economically.

  8. Click Run.
    Simulation Manager submits a simulation job for the CST simulation to run on the cloud.

When the simulation is complete, you can view the results in 3DPlay or analyze the full results in CST Studio Suite.
