Darmstadt, Germany -- Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces the availability of CST Studio Suite's EM modules for Linux, including the high-frequency time domain simulator CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS).

RF design engineers involved in the electromagnetic design and optimization of passive components such as antennas, filters and connectors, as well as those interested in signal integrity or EMC effects can now choose to run their CST EM simulation solvers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux v. 3 or 4, as an alternative to the already available Microsoft Windows versions. Alongside the 5 high-frequency CST MWS solvers, the low frequency and static modules included in CST Studio Suite have been ported to Linux.

In addition to Linux support, CST MWS 2006B offers enhanced performance in the Time Domain solver, with its new PBA mesher and flexible subgridding scheme with reduced memory requirements. Alongside increased mesher and solver performance, users of the Frequency Domain solver benefit from numerous new features and improvements such as the facility to excite structures by plane waves and slanted ports. A new solver has been introduced for electrically large structures. This Integral Equation solver will be used for radar cross section and antenna placements calculations. Coupled simulation has also been a focus of this release. The newly implemented co-simulation between CST MWS' Frequency Domain TET solver and CST EM Studio's Magneto-Static solver facilitates the simulation of realistic biasing of ferrites, and the interoperability between the high-frequency solvers and the thermal solver has also been further improved.
