The PI solver is tightly integrated in the CST design environment and shares the same well-known usability features as the other CST STUDIO SUITE solver modules. It can be integrated easily in various workflows through a set of high quality interfaces which can be used to create 3D models automatically from layout data, including various lumped components. Engineers will use this to verify whether their effective impedance meets the target impedance requirements, taking into account all the additional information and properties of the entire 3D structure, including all possible resonances.
“The EDA market is becoming increasingly important for CST,” stated Dr. Bernhard Wagner, Managing Director, Sales and Marketing, CST. “We feel that our well established 3D technology can make a significant contribution to the EDA design cycle.”
