    Module join GA matlab and one EM simulation tool.

    em matlab code Ah. Well, you're in luck. CST provides a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro implementation that's fairly well documented in their help system. To access it, click "Help > Help Contents", and then click "Visual Basic (VBA) Language" in the left frame. I haven't used...

    Module join GA matlab and one EM simulation tool.

    expectation maximization matlab code There used to be a freely available API that generated VBScripts for HFSS from MATLAB. It appears that the original website is down now, but this discussion () has some information on it. This API was written for HFSS v9, but can be easily modified for...

    Export HFSS to layout (DXF / Gerber)

    hfss to gbr Ansoft Designer will also export gerbers if you have access to it. I usually export a DXF from HFSS, and then import it to Designer. There may be an easier way to import to Designer, but I haven't tried since that method works.

    How to control HFSS v11 from Matlab?

    ahfss matlab tyenergy, I had some problems when running very long (several days) optimizations with the API because Windows Power Management would try to put the computer in standby. Windows thought it was idle because there was no user input, so the license server would shut down, causing...

    How to control HFSS v11 from Matlab?

    hfss-matlab-api I have not tried to use the COM interface for passing information from MATLAB to HFSS, but I can vouch for the HFSS API linked earlier. I used it to do exactly what you're trying. I implemented an optimization routine in MATLAB that varied parameters of the geometry. Once the...

    wave port and non-model object ?

    I don't think so. I believe non-model objects are ignored by the solver.

    Looking for some HFSS examples

    Re: for hfss example By Anthony's forum, I think he meant https://emtalk.com/index.htm.

    Steps involved in building(analog) a microstrip patch ant.

    what is microstrip ant I recently had to figure this out myself. There are several ways to get to the end result, but they're all heavily dependent on your antenna and milling machine. I used a T-Tech milling machine with an outdated version of Isopro software. I’ll tell you how I would...

    Why many projects are still using numerical methods like FDTD or MoM?

    fdtd cst microwave studio CST MWS actually has several solvers available. The standard is a Finite Integral Technique (FIT) solver, which is basically FDTD with integration instead of differentiation. It also has a direct MoM, iterative MLFMM, and eigenmode solvers. There are a variety of...

    Help me draw a rod in HFSS

    Re: drawing help in HFSS Does HFSS have a "loft" option that allows you to select two object faces and create a solid between them? I don't have access to HFSS at the moment, so I can't check. I know that MWS has that option as shown beginning at about the 3:00 mark in the video...

    waveport size for Grounded-CPW simulation help!!!

    Have you tried manually meshing the strip and port to be sure it's dense enough? For an example of manually meshing an airbox, you can see https://emtalk.com/tut_1.htm

    Microstrip Patch Antenna Design Problem

    I usually just create a PEC cylinder that touches the ground and patch. I've used this method with PIFA's and the measured results generally match the HFSS results. I suppose you can use copper or any other real material to match your patch.

    What is the best EM software to purchase?

    Re: Buying EM Software Well, you probably got an answer from the sales rep already, but I'll try anway. I've used both HFSS and Designer, but I'm not an expert on either. After reading reading this forum, I've discovered we should have been using Designer for some of the situations we used...
