客户介绍－CST
CST’s solutions offer built in modeling capabilities as well as interfaces with CAD and electronic design automation (EDA) tools to enable product designers to model and run simulations. These simulations are run on the actual design in a virtual environment to accurately determine electrical performance of the final product, greatly reducing the design risk and saving development cycles.
CST’s success is based on the implementation of unique, leading edge technology in a user-friendly interface. Early in its company life, CST recognized that a collaborative approach with select vendors would yield the competitive advantage it sought in the electromagnetic simulation solution market. CST chose ACIS because of its stability and handling of Boolean operations. The team found it easy to integrate ACIS into their solution for CST STUDIO SUITE and have been able to readily take advantage of new capabilities in each subsequent release of ACIS. The development cycle is an ongoing process – eight CST developers work mainly with ACIS, and many more are involved to a lesser extent. In addition to the core integration of ACIS and 3D InterOp translators into CST STUDIO SUITE, Spatial professional services worked with CST on two custom projects: 1) an EDA project to simplify the import of structures from an EDA tool such as Cadence and 2) developing a wrapping mechanism that enable sheets to bend around other objects (e.g., conformal antennas). “We benefit tremendously by sourcing technology from Spatial so that we can focus on our core competence of electromagnetic simulation,” comments Timm. “With our earlier product, MAFIA, we used to do everything on our own; now licensing technology from Spatial is crucial to our success.” |

When CST was founded in 1992, the requirements for computational power were relatively small – for instance modeling a simple antenna to get a general sense of how it might ultimately function in production was sufficient. Today analysis requires close proximity to real world conditions and at the same time, considerations for many more factors due to more compact designs.
