Solver Technology Featured in SIMULIA CST Studio
Electromagnetic Systems modelling with SIMULIA CST Studio
With System Assembly and Modelling (SAM), SIMULIA CST Studio provides an environment that simplifies the management of simulation projects, enabling the intuitive construction of electromagnetic (EM) systems and management of complex simulation flows using schematic modelling.
This framework can be used for analyzing and optimizing an entire device that consists of multiple individual components. These are described by relevant physical quantities such as currents, fields, or S-parameters. SAM enables the use of the most efficient solver technology for each component.
Automatic Optimisation with SIMULIA CST Studio
SIMULIA CST Studio contains several automatic optimisation algorithms, both local and global. Local optimisers provide fast convergence but risk converging to a local minimum rather than the overall best solution. On the other hand, global optimisers search the entire problem space but typically require more calculations.
SIMULIA CST Studio Optimisers:
- Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolutionary Strategy
- Trust Region Framework (TRF)
- Genetic Algorithm
- Particle Swam Optimisation
- Nelder Mead Simplex Algorithm
- Interpolated Quasi Newton
- Classic Powell
- Decap Optimisation
