Computer SimulationTechnology CST develops and markets software tools for the numerical simulation of electromagnetic field s. CST was founded in 1992 in Darmstadt, Germany. Initially CST s activities were focused on the software package http www.cst.com Content Products MAFIA Overview.aspx MAFIA . In 1998 the first version of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO was introduced. As MAFIA it was based on the finite integration technique FIT . Although CST MICROWAVE STUDIO started as pure time domain tool, other numerical techniques, such as FEM or MoM were implemented later on. In 1999 CST of America was founded, CST of Korea followed in 2001.

Dynamic simulation is the use of a computer program to model the time varying behavior of a system. The systems are typically described by ordinary differential equations or partial differential equations . As mathematical model s incorporate real world constraints, like gear backlash engineering and rebound from a hard stop, equations become nonlinear. This requires numerical methods to solve the equations. A numerical simulation is done by stepping through a time interval and calculating the integral of the derivatives by approximating the area under the derivative curves. Some methods use a fixed step through the interval, and others use an adaptive step that can shrink or grow automatically to maintain an acceptable error tolerance. Industrial uses of dynamic simulation are many and range from nuclear power, steam turbines, 6 degree of freedom vehicle modeling, electric motors, econometric models, biological systems, robot arms, mass spring dampers, hydraulic systems, and drug dose migration through the human body to name a few. These models can often be run in real time to give a virtual response close to the actual system. This is useful in process control and mechatronic systems for tuning the automatic control systems before they are connect to the real system, or for human training before they control the real system.

Simulation modeling is used to help designers and engineers understand whether, under what conditions, and in which ways a part could fail and what loads it can withstand. Simulation modeling can also help predict fluid flow and heat transfer patterns. Uses of Simulation Modeling Simulation modeling allows designers and engineers to avoid repeated building of multiple physical prototypes to analyze designs for new or existing parts. Before creating the physical prototype, users can virtually investigate many digital prototypes.
