Training Course Contents
Throughout this course you will become familiar with the basic usage of CST Studio Suite in terms of its modeling and simulation capabilities.
Participants will learn about the general setup, submission, and result analysis procedures for high-frequency 3D electromagnetic simulations.
This course will also introduce the various high frequency solvers available CST Microwave Studio and provide a behind-the-scenes look into the FIT and FEM algorithms for the general-purpose Time-Doman and Frequency-Domain solvers respectively.
Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
- Navigate the general layout of the CST Studio interface.
- Generate CAD geometries within the native modeling interface.
- Set up the project environment with the desired units, frequency settings, background materials and boundary conditions.
- Understand the various material types that exist and how to define them.
- Setup excitations using lumped elements and waveguide ports.
- Setup result monitors to obtain 2D/3D field data.
- Choose and set up the most appropriate solver and algorithm for high frequency applications.
- Run Time-Domain (FIT) and Frequency-Domain (FEM) simulations including parametric sweeps and optimizations.
- Analyze simulation results such as S-parameters, voltages, currents, 3D nearfields and farfields.
- Extract data from the standard result set through the use of post-processing templates.

Training Methods
Choose from three different training methods available to you
Group/Public Training
Receive SOLIDWORKS training as a group in a traditional classroom environment.
Classes can be taken in one of our training locations across Canada and the US using SOLIDWORKS approved training content and methodologies.
Advantages
- Cost effective training method.
- Leave the office to concentrate on learning.
- Learn more through group questions and feedback.
Live Online Training
With our online training you will experience an interactive learning environment where you can give feedback, gain access to the SOLIDWORKS training files and get time to work on training exercises.
Advantages
- Online courses are available as half or full day sessions.
- More effective than video based training, with recorded videos learners are often not as focused on the training and skip exercises.
