CST STUDIO SUITE 2012 Beta
上周末收到寄來的Beta光盤，今天收到Licence和2011的Service Pack，升級2011之后裝上2012的測試版看看。
軟件：
軟件的About：
在Update Manager里已經有了第一個Hotfix：
今天（10月21日）2012關閉之后再打開就一直報錯，進Update Manager之后看到新的Hotfix，安裝之后可以正常啟動運行：
操作：
MWS的主界面：
打開對話框有改變，Preview做在了右邊，可以顯示更多信息：
保存時DS標簽的右邊多了一個進度條：
又多試了試，這個功能應該是做成了和左下角的進度條對應：
求解器：
Transient Solver Parameter主界面有小小改變，加了Mesh type選項：
Special...選項里的Solver選項卡有改變，以前的一些選項被集中在這里了：
Job Control Centre：
Job Control Centre的選項也做了修改：
現在如果在Job Control Centre里添加相同的文件會給出提示：
網格：
Local Mesh Properties里面多了Mesh Group功能，修改對話框中的參數將同時修改Group中所有Structure的對應參數。
單擊Apply之后會給出提示信息：
運行求解器之后如果提示Staircase網格被填充為PEC，現在有一個More...鏈接：
單擊鏈接會打開Mesh Problem Handling幫助文件：
建模：
Histoty list右下角多了一個"More >>"按鈕：
單擊之后給出提示信息：
OK之后進入Expert mode：
背景材料的對話框有改動：
單擊Properties之后進入屬性修改對話框，和Material Properties類似：
材料屬性：
“冷拉銅”這個材料現在改名為"Copper (Pure)"：
本帖持續更新......
我暈，這更新的速度是不是太快了點。2012版本有什么大的改進呢？版主
抄幾段10月份的E-newsletter：
System Assembly and Modeling
Complete Technology for EM simulation is one of the key strengths of CST STUDIO SUITE. Having access to a choice of available simulation methods allows the user to select the optimal solver for the simulation of a given component. CST STUDIO SUITE 2012 takes simulation a step further: System Assembly and Modeling (SAM) provides an environment that simplifies the management of simulation projects in many ways.
A device may consist of more than one component, each of which may require a different solution method for optimal simulation performance. The performance of such a large or complex system might be affected by interaction between components, so an optimization of the individual components might not be sufficient. An optimization of the entire system may be required. SAM provides a framework for addressing this requirement.
In SAM a system is described by a schematic. In the simplest case this is one block representing a parameterized 3D model. The user defines the evaluations for this model by setting up simulation tasks. SAM helps you to compare the results of different solvers or model configurations within one simulation project. The user can also set up a linked sequence of solver runs. For example, the electromagnetic analysis of a filter could be followed by a thermal simulation, then the filter’s resulting mechanical deformation could be determined, and finally this geometric change could be used in another electromagnetic simulation to investigate the detuning effect. All simulations and links can be defined easily in SAM to enable a seamless multiphysics work flow.
By adding other models to the schematic, the user can create a 3D system. SAM helps the user to define the geometric alignment of the various components. Simulation tasks can be defined that include single or multiple components and the user can specify which components should be simulated in 3D, and which solver and CST simulation acceleration options should be used for those simulations. Components could also be represented simply by their S-parameter behavior or by an equivalent field source in the system simulation. This combination of different levels of simulation helps to reduce the computational effort required to analyze a complex model accurately. If required, SAM naturally also enables the user to create and simulate their system in full 3D.
Beta Testing of CST STUDIO SUITE 2012
Preparation for the upcoming 2012 version of CST STUDIO SUITE is in full swing. This release will feature improvements and innovations in many areas. CST DESIGN STUDIO version 2012 will enable the set-up of nested task structures. A new tabular view allows the straightforward accessing, sorting and filtering of result data after a parameter sweep or an optimization.
The newly built-in component library enables access to components of various vendors, such as ON Semiconductor and STMicroelectronics. System Assembly and Modeling opens up new application areas. Existing modeling, solver and acceleration technology has been upgraded and improved in performance and usability.
Also important is a new SI workflow in CST PCB STUDIO and the fast IR drop simulation capability.
Beta testing of version 2012 for customers will start in a few weeks. Please contact your local CST support team if you would like to participate, we always appreciate your feedback. Shipment of the final release of CST STUDIO SUITE 2012 is scheduled for February / March 2012.
New multi-layer solver
CST MICROWAVE STUDIO version 2012 comes with a new multi-layer solver. This is a 3D planar electromagnetic solver for planar modeling and analysis. It is based on the Method of Moments (MoM) and enables users to simulate multi-layer geometries accurately and efficiently. The new solver features automatic layer stack generation from 3D models, automatic edge mesh refinement as well as automatic de-embedding of ports.
Typical applications are RF designs such as planar antennas and filters, as well as MMIC and planar feeding network designs. Accurate co-simulation of complex micro-strips and transmission lines in 2D is facilitated in CST STUDIO SUITE by CST DESIGN STUDIO. The new multi-layer solver makes this easier than ever, and together with CST's new System Assembly and Modeling (SAM), the new solver can be used to simulate planar components of complex systems even more efficiently.
又出來新版本了，我都還是用的2009呢。
2011才出的SP5估計還得出幾個SP吧
結果這就2012了，不淡定了
怎么回事啊，2011都沒裝上！
還沒用上2011啊( ⊙ o ⊙ )啊！
看那個2012的about里那個代表2012版本的綠圖，我的感覺是似乎是2012版要對PCB有大發展啊。
EDATOP，我最關注的一個問題是，還有MS工作室嗎？是否TLM已經徹底變成了MWS工作室的一個求解器了？
有。
那你看看CST 2011的光盤盒，上面已經沒有MS了。
你再看看2012 Beta盒子上有沒有了？
真搞不懂，到底還要不要MS了。
