Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) describes the ability of a device to operate as intended in its environment without interfering with other devices. By law, products must comply with international EMC standards which regulate EM emissions and the susceptibility of electrical and electronic systems to be sold. The earlier a potential EMC problem is identified, the less disruption it causes to the design process. By including EMC compliant design at an early stage, additional costly development iterations can be avoided later. EMC regulations shall ensure that devices must not emit electromagnetic fields that can disrupt other electronics and must be able to withstand interference from nearby devices and from environmental electromagnetic effects (E3) such as lightning strikes or electromagnetic pulse.
During this webinar we will demonstrate the necessary solutions for space electromagnetic compatibility analysis such as RF co-site interference, radiated susceptibility and lightning strike to help space companies to save costs and time in their product design

During this webinar we will focus on the different existing workflows between CST Studio Suite and Spark3D to determine the breakdown level when these effects take place.

For multifactor breakdown, ad-hoc workflows for different applications will be presented. For instance, the incorporation of DC magnetic field into the breakdown analysis (for the design of e.g. circulators), or the case in which complex signals are employed (multi-carrier and modulated).

When it comes to highly resonant structures, such as bandpass filters and diplexers, the Frequency Domain solver provides great benefits in terms of the simulation accuracy versus speed. Furthermore, it features unique technologies such as the moving mesh, which is important for the mitigation of numerical noise generated by changes in the discretization. It also offers a model order reduction method that is very fast, even in calculating broadband results.
The Time Domain solver is the perfect solution for broadband traveling-wave components like transmission lines and transitions, as well as highpass/lowpass filters.

Powered by 3DEXPERIENCE, our electromagnetic simulation technology allows antenna design and placement on the satellite to be optimized with high accuracy and speed. Radiofrequency interference between systems is crucial for system integrators and must be well understood at an early design stage. Therefore, a dedicated interference task solver provides a complete understanding of the coupling between all the communication and detection systems. Adhering to compliance standards for radiofrequency systems is a legal requirement that must be met to go to market. Validated high-fidelity simulation gives confidence that certification tests will be passed at the first attempt. Reliable operation of communication and detection systems is critically essential for the operation of satellites. However, the cost of physical testing of those systems is very high and reducing it to a minimum is crucial.

Over the last two years, companies of all sizes have faced a variety of new challenges, forcing them to react quickly and adapt business strategies. These same challenges have increased product and process complexity, further impacting companies as customer needs change.
On-time project delivery and budget adherence are vital in the face of these challenges but can seem near impossible. This is especially true when working with disconnected data in a system that is separate from the actual project. Data quickly becomes out of date and time is wasted when project managers must continually collect and distribute accurate data.
Simply put – Project managers and their teams need the right tools to eliminate the non-value-added tasks.

When examining how electric and autonomous vehicle technologies work and how modeling tool's function, one of the most recent concerns for manufacturers is aerodynamics. When it comes to producing electric vehicles, aerodynamics is of top priority because it has a direct impact on the practicality and economy of the vehicle, particularly when we consider the issue of range anxiety. Because of this, electric cars require a different aerodynamic process to traditional combustion cars as well as more research and development to increase capacity and improve charging times.

Design and certification of an aircraft are today heavily supported by simulation of the aircraft aerodynamic performance.
