CST has upgraded its 3D EM field solver palette with a new module based on the multilevel fast multipole method.

CST - Computer Simulation Technology has upgraded its 3D EM field solver palette with a new module, based on the multilevel fast multipole method (MLFMM) The new module, which is dedicated to tackling large-scale electrical problems, will be available in Q3 of 2006

Design engineers engaged in areas such as automotive, aerospace and defence and EMC, have long recognised the benefits of CST Microwave Studio's (CST MWS) time domain solver for its unparalleled capability to solve very complex structures.

The newly implemented MLFMM solver, however, opens up new possibilities to users in terms of structure size.

The MLFMM solver will be able to solve structures much larger than 20 wavelengths and is of particular interest because of its ability to deal with dielectric losses.

Typical application examples include antenna placement on aircraft and radar cross section (RCS) calculations of large scattering objects.

As with all solvers in CST Studio Suite, its integration in CST Design Environment is seamless and based on the same easy to use modeller and front end.

"CST is dedicated to providing the most complete technological offering for the high frequency EM market", said Dr Peter Thoma, Managing Director, R and D, CST.

"The addition of our new MLFMM solver to CST Studio Suite ensures that design engineers dealing with electrically large structures can efficiently calculate highly accurate solutions, keeping them at the forefront of product development".
