I am trying to design an Inductively Coupled Plasma Ion Source and do it's 3D simulation. Which software is the best for this perpose?
CST, HFSS , ... ?

Lets make it a bit more clear. First I need to do induction coil simulation. I have a photo of the coil here:
http://www.edaboard.com/ftopic364992.html
Which software do you recommend for simulation of this coil when a RF power is connected to it? CST, HFSS, Maxwell 3D, ... ?
Coil will be energised with a 13.56 MHZ 5KW RF generator and will Ionize H2 to creat plasma. I want to see how plasma behaves. Later I will add electrods for positive ion exctraction which also will need simulation software (probably the same software) for designing electrod geometry.

After a lot of search I found the only software capable of doing ICP simulation is Pasmator from Kinema. They used to give away free demo but I missed it. Anyone has this demo or knows where to find this software please let me know. It seems it is discountinued.

| how have you designed your coil. kindly tell me how the modelling and design of this type of coil is done in HFSS and CST.

| I am after plasma simulation and HFSS and CST can not do this kind of simulation. Only Plasmator can do it. But coil can be designed using CST and HFSS I think (I haven't done it though).
