Solver Parameters

Solver settings frame

Store result data in cache

Check here if you want the solver results to be stored in the result data cache. The efficient usage of the result data cache is explained in the printed documentation "Advanced Topics".

Stimulation settings frame

Superimpose excitation during transient co-simulation

This check button activates the superimposed stimulation of any selected port or plane wave excitation during a transient co-simulation run. This stimulation is performed in addition to any excitation defined in the cable network setup of CST DESIGN STUDIO. Please note, that a selection of multiple ports (e.g. "All ports" in the source type dropdown list) will lead to a simultaneous excitation of these ports.

Calculate modes only

Calculates solely the port modes of your structure, i.e., no transient solver run is performed.

Adaptive mesh refinement frame

Adaptive mesh refinement: Mark this check box to activate the adaptive mesh refinement. The mesh will be adaptively optimized by either adding extra grid lines due to the calculation of the electromagnetic field energy or by successively changing the settings of the mesh expert system. Press the Adaptive Properties... button to edit the current settings for the mesh refinement.

Start

Calculates the port modes and starts the time domain calculation.

Optimize...

This button opens a dialog box that allows you to set up and start an optimization run.

Par. Sweep...

Opens the parameter sweep dialog.

Acceleration...

Opens the acceleration dialog box to control the high performance options of the simulation run (e.g. GPU acceleration, Distributed Computing, MPI).

Specials...

This button leads to a dialog where further special settings for the solver can be made. The settings are for expert users only and should generally not be changed.

Simplify Model...

Opens the simplify model dialog.

Apply

Stores the current settings. The dialog box remains open.

Close

Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
