Automation and Optimisation

Optimisation & Parameterisation:

With the easy to use and fully automatic CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® optimiser, every parameter can be varied and even complicated goals can be defined in a very intuitive way.  New and powerful optimisation strategies allow optimisation even for multiple parameters in a reasonable length of time.

 

Project: Optimisation of a microstrip coupler
Goal: Perfect S41 transmission
Method: Parametric construction and automatic optimisation
Time: Total simulation time under 8 minutes on a PIII 800 MHz CPU.

Figures 1-4 illustrate the optimisation of a microstrip coupler.  The goal of a perfect S41 transmission was reached by varying the structure's 4 parameters in less than 8 minutes simulation time on a PIII 800 MHz CPU.

Command language

Powerful VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) compatible macro language includes an editor and a macro debugger. The OLE automation server guarantees seamless integration into the Windows environment.
