Industry Trends

Digital Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a method of manufacturing parts typically from powder or wire using a layer-by-layer approach

Dassault Systèmes offers a full portfolio of integrated applications to unlock the true power of additive manufacturing by connecting across multiple disciplines, including design, manufacturing and simulation

5G Communication

5G promises ultra-reliable, low latency data links for real time communication and support for many connected devices in small areas.

However, 5G technology also comes with a step-change in complexity with technical challenges around adding new frequency bands which requires comprehensive effort in design, testing, and validation of equipment.

The extensive Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA portfolio of simulation technology, including mechanical, structural and stress analysis with Abaqus, Electromagnetic Simulation with CST Studio Suite, and other tools for thermal, fatigue and system simulation. Combined with the benefits of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, they allow competitive products to be brought to market on time and on budget, despite the increased challenges posed by designing for 5G.

CST / SIMULIA

SYSTEM ASSEMBLING AND MODELING (SAM)

CST STUDIO SUITE uses System Assembly and Modeling (SAM) in order to simplify the management of simulation projects enabling the intuitive construction of electromagnetic (EM) systems and straightforward management of complex simulation flows using schematic modeling. SAM provides a framework for carrying out simulations and optimizations of entire systems, both component by component using hybrid and multiphysics methods, and as an assembled device. This combination of different levels of simulation helps to reduce the computational effort required to analyze a complex model accurately.

BIOLOGICAL ELECTROMAGNETICS (BIO-EM)

The interaction of electromagnetic fields and the body is relevant both to modern communication devices such as mobile phones and advanced medical systems for monitoring, imaging and treatment. As measurement is typically not an option inside the human body, EM simulation is the only way to analyze the complex field distribution inside the body.

All electromagnetic devices in the vicinity of the human body require certification by governmental authorities, base on a specific absorption rate (SAR). CST STUDIO SUITE can directly calculate all types of SAR. This allows engineers to evaluate the SAR values even in the early stages of the product design.

EDA/ELECTRONICS

CST STUDIO SUITE contains a number of tools to help engineers design, analyze and improve PCB layouts. High data rates, compact structure and complex layout of modern circuit boards and packages, maintaining signal integrity (SI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) can be difficult. The dedicated PCB simulation tools in CST STUDIO SUITE can be used to characterize the behavior of a layout quickly. Layouts can be converted directly into a 3D model for full-wave simulation or into an equivalent circuit model for circuit simulation, with specialized meshing algorithms optimized for complex printed structures.

MICROWAVES/RF

The simulation of high frequency electromagnetic fields is one of CST’s core competencies. CST STUDIO SUITE includes tools for a very wide range of microwave and RF applications, allowing full-wave and hybrid simulation, multiphysics workflows and 3D/circuit co-simulation.

Filter design and synthesis is a major application of CST STUDIO SUITE, with links to a range of specialized CST tools that widen the filter design capabilities significantly. CST’s filter design tools allow fast but accurate synthesis and tuning of filters, even those that are very sensitive or with complex topologies.
