周二去參加了今年的UK Customer Workshop。按照慣例，CST的Senior Application Engineer：Marc，介紹了CST STUDIO SUITE 2015的新功能。（此君是接下來3月25號的Webinar的主講人）
下面總結一下我自己記錄的一些新功能：（完整的新功能列表之前已經列出來了）
• 支持3D space鼠標。
• 在View tab里面新增“Dimension”功能。

可以在模型上直接顯示線段或角度信息。

不過要顯示角度信息必須是一個“實際的”角（must share a common point）
• 在“Modelling” tab里新增“Pick Similar Faces”功能。

這個功能可以只能同時選中所有“相同”的面。例如，在“pick similar faces”模式下，把鼠標移至左邊的長方形面上，design enviroment會只能提示右邊的相同結構。

雙擊左邊的面，右邊的也同時選中。

•公式列表中可以直接顯示公式的當前數值。公式列表中新增filter，可以直接搜索需要的公式。

•Transform模型的時候如果選擇“copy”，可以設置每個copied object為獨立object。設置獨立之后修改任何一個object都不影響其它的object。適合陣列或者濾波器應用。
•History list中可以添加注釋。

•Simulation tab里的圖標將根據所選擇的求解器類型而改變。
•時域求解器Special新增“Material”標簽。

•在宏當中可以創建參數用于將某一部分object考慮/排除于仿真中。（翻譯的有點兒拗口，具體內容可以關注介紹新版本的webinar）
•可以從文本文件中導入參數掃描的數值。（很適合不規律的參數掃描）
•在資源管理器（就是Windows）里雙擊模型文件會在當前的front-end界面打開模型。避免打開過多front-end導致licence不夠。
•可以在parameter table里直接打開緩存的模型。非常適合觀察每一個參數條件下模型的具體情況。前提必須在Time Domain Solver parameter對話框里勾選“Store result data in cache”。

•2D/3D results里可以隱藏設定值之外的plot。
•新增用戶library。模板和宏都可以存在library當中，之后升級新版本的時候可以繼續使用之前的library。

•時域求解器支持Spatially varying materials。適用于航空應用，比如隱形戰斗機雷達測試用的sensor。（貌似目前只能從VBA創建這種材料類型）
•時域場源Time domain field source coupling。看演示應該就是以前的near field source，不過現在升級到workflow級別。適用于大型模型中包含小細節，比如油罐車上的通信天線、拋物面天線等等。
•加速粒子應用中可以直接選擇需要的端口模式。例如可以直接選擇第500個模式，否則需要12個小時先計算前499個模式。
•支持Intel Xeon Phi加速器。Tesla支持K40和K80。
•DC/MPI中提高了數據傳輸效率。
•改進線纜處理效率。
•接下來的Service Pack 1里會新增線纜library。比如Ethernet C5e雙絞線。
•雙絞線可以在cross-section里定義rotation的數值。
•PCB應用里提供De-coupling capacitor優化算法。
•新增Temperature dependent lossy metal。
