Hi guys,

does anyone know how to design a helical structure in CST? Is it only possible trough exporting from other CAD programs? I found that CST has an example with helical antenna, but i could not figure out how to use that helix model in my own CST project/file.

Thanks!

Added after 2 hours 19 minutes:

I have exported a helix structure from the CST example and tried to modify its parameters (number of turns, conductor diameter, etc.)..........but CST gives a message that exported objects cannot be modified..............but it is CST made object just in another project...............WHAT the hell it does not want to modify it...........

ANY IDEA, guys???

Added after 1 hours 44 minutes:

....how to create a rotation axis in different from the face plane? CST says that rotation axis has to be in working plan, but if the face and axis are on the same plane, it is impossible to create a helix. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Hello spacedude25,

if the helix in the example is suitable for your usage, you can go to
Edit > History list

Click on the very first step and the step. It will show you step by step how the helix is created.

Hope it is useful.

hi spacedude,
there is a predefined macro in cst . so you can directly run it and draw the helix you wish to..

Go to Macro/construct/coil. There are huge selection of coils for you.

did you simulated Helix antenna in CST. you can tell me draw it in CST.
