Studio Suite v. 2010 contains multiple solution options within a single design environment. Incorporates an asymptotic solver is based on the Shooting Bouncing Ray method, an extension to physical optics, capable of tackling simulations with an electric size of many thousands of wavelengths such as radar cross-section analysis. MWS’ frequency domain solver now includes third and mixed order elements for simulation efficiency and speed. Time domain solver includes functional enhancements such as arbitrary order dispersive material modeling, and domain decomposition for cluster computing, also in combination with GPU computing. Integrates Microstripes, for EMC simulations.
