CST Pushes Boundaries for Model Complexity

The memory efficiency and the robustness of explicit time domain methods and the accuracy of the Perfect Boundary Approximation have established the CST MICROWAVE STUDIO transient solver at the forefront of large and detail rich electromagnetic field simulation.

The upcoming release of CST MWS will now allow users to leave the 2 billion meshcell (more than 20 billion unknowns) limit behind them. By employing cluster computing, through a message passing interface implementation, in combination with cutting edge Graphics Processing Unit computing, CST MWS enables customers to tackle simulations of this size within a reasonable time frame.

“Our customers rely on us to provide solutions when they face new challenges in their design work”, said Dr. Peter Thoma, Managing Director R&D, CST. “By equipping CST MWS to deal with even larger problem sizes now, we are addressing a requirement that we see coming in the near future.”
