Running CST STUDIO at DESY

The powerful simulation platform for all kinds of electromagnetic field problems.

 

The CST STUDIO SUITE offers simulation modules for the following areas:

Cable

3D analysis of signal integrity (SI), conducted emission (CE), radiated emission (RE), and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) of complex cable structures in electrically large systems

High Frequency

Simulation of high frequency components (formerly known as Microwave Studio)

Low Frequency

Simulation of low frequency components (formerly known as EM Studio)

Particle

For the analysis of charged particle dynamics in 3D electromagnetic fields

Thermal & Mechanics

A tool for thermal and mechanical stress analysis

Circuits & Systems

A schematic design tool to simulate systems and circuits

PCBs & Packages

A tool for signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) analysis on printed circuit boards (PCB)

Filter Design

Tools and wizards for the design of different types of filters (available March 2021)

Spark3D

To analyze vacuum breakdown (multipactor) and gas discharge (available March 2021)
 

At DESY the CST STUDIO software package is installed on six terminal servers named mpycst01, mpycst02, mpycst03, mpycst04, mpycst05 and mpycst06 These servers are accessible via a remote desktop connection.

A short description about how to access the servers and how to start CST STUDIO is available here (pdf file).

Please look at the built-in help in CST Studio (File -> Help -> Getting Started) for Getting Started Manuals in PDF format.

The following booklets are available:

  • Getting started
  • Cable Simulation
  • Charged Particle Simulation
  • Circuit Simulation and SAM (System Assembly and Modeling)
  • High Frequency Simulation (formerly known as MICROWAVE STUDIO)
  • Low Frequencey Simulation (formerly known as EM STUDIO)
  • PCB and Package Simulation
  • Thermal and Mechanical Simulation
  • FEST3D User Manual
  • SPARK3D User Manual
  • Release Notes

The mentioned booklets are available on each server. Look at D:\BigData\CST Studio Help 2023\Documentation.

Available videos: Getting Started (38:23 min) and Quick Intro (7:27 min).
