The material and mesh settings are kept, which means that the model doesn’t need to be set up again, and the simulation can proceed as normal. The updated model is then loaded into the project. The next time CST STUDIO SUITE is opened, this change is automatically detected and the software asks whether the simulation project should be updated as well. The model includes an LCD screen, which is modeled as a different material and subject to local mesh refinement.Īfter the user imports the phone model, however, the design department updates the CAD file.
The simple example shown above is the casing for a phone, imported in CST STUDIO SUITE as a STEP file. This updated data may contain new components or remove old components, and can sometimes significantly affect the behavior of a device.
For instance, in many electronics companies, EM engineers might receive weekly or daily updates to the CAD data from other departments. This is designed to help users working in large teams to keep track of all the changes to the device without having to reset the simulation environment for each design iteration. One such feature which was new in CST STUDIO SUITE 2014 is version control for imported CAD models. CST devotes large amounts of development time to improving the workflow of CST STUDIO SUITE, and making it easier to for users to just simulate their models and get meaningful results. No matter how powerful and versatile the simulation tool, it will always be limited unless it’s also user-friendly and works well with other tools. Did you know CST Studio Suite (or Microwave Studio for long-time users) implemented CAD version control in 2014?
