Run the Simulation

Simulate the coverage tests to generate results for each installed antenna's performance.

When you simulate your coverage tests, Antenna Placement opens CST Studio Suite and provides it with the master simulation project template that you previously configured. CST Studio Suite then downloads the coverage test from Antenna Placement to position the antenna on the platform. The hybrid solver resolves the solution and uploads the results to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, allowing you to review the results in Antenna Placement.

In this example, you simulate only the front and middle coverage tests. You previously predicted that the rear placement candidate would have poor omnidirectional coverage because of its high blockage area percentage, so you do not need to simulate it.

  1. From the Simulate section of the Assistant, click Simulate .
  2. Select the Front Test and the Middle Test.

    Note: The app maintains the results of each coverage test unless you overwrite those results by running another simulation. The Simulate dialog box indicates the result status for each coverage test.

  3. Click Simulate.

    CST Studio Suite sequentially simulates the coverage tests that you select. You can click the CST icon in the task bar to see which coverage test CST Studio Suite is simulating. After the simulations run successfully, CST Studio Suite automatically uploads the results to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, where they become available in the Antenna Placement app.

  4. Save your work.
