Preloaded Macros Overview

The installation of CST STUDIO SUITE contains a selection of preloaded global macros which are useful to automate a variety of common tasks:

File and Result Handling

File / Import Result Templates
The macro can import all result templates from another project into the current project.

Wizard / Archive Multiple Projects

The macro can be used to delete individual calculation results.

Wizard / Data Import Wizard offers a very powerful wizard for importing ASCII data.

Construction (=Structure) Macros

Construct / Coils
Various coil geometries can be defined using those macros.

Construct / Miscellaneous / Superconducting Cavity
This macro allows the definition of rotational symmetric cavities with ellipses as cross section, as used in most superconducting accelerators (e.g. Tesla)

Construct / Vias / Vias from File list

    This macro allows the simple definition of vias from a file list.

Construct / Vias / Vias from Picks

    This macro allows the simple definition of vias from picked points.

Wizard / Via Wizard offers a very powerful tool to create all kind of via structures. MS Excel is required for it.

 

Creating Pictures, Videos and Reports

Report and Graphics / Save Image
This macro can save screen shots in many different file formats.

Report and Graphics / Save Video
This macro can store animations in several different file formats.

Report and Graphics / PowerPoint Presentation
This macro creates a PowerPoint presentation with some of the most important results of the simulation.

Report and Graphics / PowerPoint Slide
This macro adds the actual contents of the CST MWS drawing window to an open PowerPoint presentation.

Report and Graphics / Word Report
This macro creates a MS-Word document with some of the most important results of the simulation.

MS-Excel
Example to control CST MWS from MS Excel 2000.

Postprocessing multiple simulations and running Parameter Sweeps

Wizard / Compare multiple runs
This wizard enables you to compare all kinds of 1D Result data from different simulations.

Wizard / Parameter + Mesh Study
This wizard performs a one- or multi-dimensional parameter sweep. (in addition to the built-in parameter sweep, this macro can also handle sophisticated cases such as a parameter sweep of optimizer runs)
