CST Announces New Workshop Series

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT

CST announces a series of customer centric workshops focusing on high frequency system design challenges.

The series investigates how new technology will benefit designers working in the high speed data, power integrity and EMC/EMI areas, as well as on optical applications. Following some recent acquisitions, CST can now offer advanced workflows to cover all major aspects of electromagnetic system design and optimization and this new technology will be explained through a series of CST and partner customer presentations.

Presenting partners include, GM, Verigy, Cisco, Agilent, Finisar and Continental Automotive.

CST Announces Two New Products For SI/PI And EMC/EMI Analysis

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Computer Simulation Technology (CST), announces the addition of two new products to CST STUDIO SUITE™ at DesignCon, booth # 311. The development of CST PCB STUDIO™ and CST CABLE STUDIO™ is a result of the acquisition of a stake in SimLab Software GmbH in 2007.

Design engineers and researchers interested in SI/PI and EMC/EMI analysis will benefit from highly efficient, proven simulation algorithms, advanced imports, and unmatched user-friendliness through full integration in CST DESIGN ENVIRONMENT™. CST PCB STUDIO and CST CABLE STUDIO can expose EMC issues early in the design process, reducing the number of expensive cut and try iterations.

CST Completes Acquisition of Flomerics EM Business Line

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Darmstadt, Germany, February 1st 2008, Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces it has completed the acquisition of the Flomerics electromagnetics simulation software business including MicroStripes and FLO/EMC.

The acquisition of the business line was closed as planned on January 31st 2008, including the transfer of EM technology.

“We are thrilled with this acquisition,” commented Dr. Bernhard Wagner, Managing Director, CST. “Both the new technology and people really complement CST’s existing business, and the synergies will certainly benefit both current and future customers.”

CST University Publication Award 2007 - Winners Announced

Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT

December 21st, 2007 – Computer Simulation Technology (CST), announces winners of CST University Publication Award 2007 .

The CST University Publication Award is an annual grant to university institutes and researchers for their work in the application of 3D EM field simulation. Now in this its fourth year, the quality of the publications was outstanding. Prerequisites for participation are that the papers are authored or co-authored by academic researchers, published either in scientific journals or conference proceedings, and the numerical results are entirely or in part obtained through simulation using CST software products. Submissions are evaluated on a number of criteria including originality of the application or the theory, clarity of presentation, as well as the skilful usage of CST software features.

CST Announces Acquisition of Flomerics’ EM Business Line

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT

DARMSTADT, Germany, 20 December 2007, Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces the acquisition of the Flomerics electromagnetics simulation software business including MicroStripes and FLO/EMC with effect from 1 January 2008.

Through this acquisition, CST will gain complementary EM technology for its customers; of particular interest is the transmission line matrix (TLM) method, as an alternative Time Domain approach. Furthermore, Flomerics’ strong position in the emc market and related specialised product features will offer new possibilities to CST’s users, also operating in this market.

5th North American Users' Forum Announced

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT

CST of America®, Inc. announces the 5th North American Users' Forum to be held February 4th 2008 in Santa Clara, CA. The conference will provide an opportunity for users of CST’s products to present and discuss their work to a wide audience of interested parties.

CST Announces Acquisition of LINMIC Design Suite

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces the acquisition of the LINMIC software package, including source code and all IP rights.

LINMIC is an EM based and layout oriented EDA software package which has been developed since the early 1980ties by Dr. Rolf Jansen, currently professor at Aachen University of Technology, and further developed and supported by AC Microwave GmbH. The design suite consists of several solver engines for MW+RF/IC linear and non-linear circuits, planar EM, device modelling, and coaxial structures, and is known for having robust HF circuit models that are valid for a large frequency range. LINMIC also contains a number of exceptional features such as distributed device modelling and the accurate analysis of high power transistors.

CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® v 2008 further accelerated

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces further acceleration boost for the upcoming version 2008 of its market and technology leading Time Domain solver within CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (CST MWS) through Acceleware’s new ClusterInABox™ D30.

RF design engineers involved in the electromagnetic design and optimization of complex or electrically larger passive components, as well as those interested in signal integrity or electromagnetic compatibility effects, can now take advantage of the performance gained by the combination of the simulation accuracy of CST’s proprietary Perfect Boundary Approximation (PBA)® and Acceleware’s new ClusterInABox™ D30.

CST and SimLab Sign Participation and Cooperation Agreement

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Computer Simulation Technology GmbH (CST), and SimLab Software GmbH (SimLab) today announce the signing of a participation and cooperation agreement. By this agreement: CST has acquired a stake in SimLab; joint research and development activities will become more intense; and the two companies will work together more closely in the area of sales and marketing.

Design engineers interested in SI/PI and EMC/EMI effects will profit from this cooperation through increased intensity in SimLab’s product development and support. In addition, the agreement will facilitate the smooth integration of SimLab’s cutting edge tools with CST’s full wave analysis.
