Users working at the limits of current computing technology will also benefit from the new high-performance computing features in CST STUDIO SUITE 2015. The introduction of nearfield sources to the frequency domain solver and the asymptotic solver mean that these solvers can now be linked more easily to simulations using other solver types. The frequency domain solver has had several performance improvements to boost its power and versatility, making it much easier to simulate extremely large and complex multiport models such as multi-pin connectors or densely populated antenna arrays. The solvers themselves are now also more powerful and more flexible. These new tools complement the antenna synthesis capability of Antenna Magus and speed up the whole EM design process To help antenna engineers get the most out of simulation, CST has recently added Filter Designer 2D, and is introducing the new Phased Array Wizard. Synthesis and design tools supplement simulation by making it possible to generate initial designs quickly and accurately. With CST STUDIO SUITE 2015, the links between the different simulation domains have been tightened and new tools have been added to allow users to go beyond what can be done with electromagnetic field simulation alone. Increasingly, even a single design task can involve multiple simulation disciplines. As devices become more compact and more connected, the old distinctions between different fields of engineering break down.
