Which Solver To Use

CST MPHYSICS STUDIO features tree different solvers for multiphysical applications, the thermal stationary solver, the thermal transient solver and the structural mechanics solver.

.

Thermal Stationary Solver

The thermal stationary solver can be used to simulate temperature distribution problems.

For detailed information please refer to the Thermal Stationary Solver Overview page.

Thermal Transient Solver

The thermal transient solver can be used to simulate time-dependent temperature distribution problems.

For detailed information please refer to the Thermal Solver Overview page.

Structural Mechanical Solver

The structural mechanical solver can be used to compute structural deformations resulting from EM-, thermal- or mechanical induced stress. For detailed information please refer to the Mechanical Solver Overview page.
