Why CST STUDIO SUITE 2006™ for Automotive applications? • User friendly interface for importing of body car, dielectric windscreens or for designing antenna parts • Accurate and Robust PBA meshing for solid and thin sheet shapes • Linear growing of the memory effort with the No. of mesh cells, allowing the use of PCs rather than expensive workstations/clusters • Broadband analysis: DC, AM/FM, remote control, GSM, GPS in one single simulation www.cst.com
Why CST STUDIO SUITE 2006™ for Automotive applications? • Simultaneous excitations of ports for mutual coupling analysis • Far field and Near field calculations both in time domain (probes) and frequency domain (field on curves) • Far field calculation over lossy ground enabling the simulation of outdoor test ranges • Accurate calculation and visualization of 3D fields and surface current for antenna and cable placement • Exporting data to in-house or third party tools www.cst.com
Body Car import: Catia5, step, stl,.... • Body Car can easily be imported: • Thin sheet shapes via stl/Nastran format • 3D shapes via CATIA5, step, iges www.cst.com
Windscreen and On-glass wire antenna www.cst.com
Windscreen: Thicken Sheet Both thin sheet shapes and 3D shapes import options are available On arbitrary thin sheet shapes can be assigned a thickness www.cst.com
On-glass wire antenna: import 1D curves Transform Curves to Wires Important: curves will not be included in simulation only wires will be! www.cst.com
