Apps

Your 3DEXPERIENCE platform roles must provide access to the following apps:

  • Antenna Placement
  • Performance Trade-off
  • Physics Simulation Review
Note: You must also have access to CST Studio Suite® 2022 or later.

Release

This example was developed on the R2022x FD01 version of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and is expected to be compatible with later releases.

Solve Time

This simulation takes approximately 30 minutes to complete on a typical desktop with four CPUs and 32 GB RAM.

Sample Data

The Knowledge Base article Sample Data: Antenna Coverage Analysis for an Aircraft provides the 3D XML data used in the example.

Background

You should be familiar with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and with CST Studio Suite electromagnetics simulations.
