Electromagnetic Systems Modeling

With  System Assembly and Modeling (SAM), CST Studio Suite® provides an environment that simplifies the management of simulation projects. It enables the intuitive construction of electromagnetic (EM) systems and the straightforward management of complex simulation flows using schematic modeling. The SAM framework helps analyzing and optimizing an entire device that consists of multiple individual components. These components are described by relevant physical quantities such as currents, fields or S-parameters. SAM enables the use of the most efficient solver technology for each component.

SAM helps users to compare the results of different solvers or model configurations within one simulation project and perform post-processing automatically. SAM facilities the set-up of a linked sequence of solver runs for hybrid and multiphysics simulations. For example, we start with an EM simulation to calculate the electric losses. We then simulate the thermal effects that result from the dissipated power. We predict the deformation caused by these thermal effects by structural analysis and finally perform and EM analysis to determine the detuning. This combination of different levels of simulation helps to reduce the computational effort required to analyze a complex model accurately.
