The Company

CST – Computer Simulation Technology was founded in 1992 to develop and market software for the simulation of electromagnetic fields. Since its inception, CST has grown to over 145 employees, with direct sales and support offices throughout Europe, North America and Asia. Customers can be found in markets as diverse as Automotive, Telecommunications, Defence, Electronics, and Medical Equipment, and include market leaders such as Daimler, General Motors, Lucent, Raytheon, RFS, Siemens, and Sony.

On average CST has grown over 20% faster than the EM market every year and now enjoys a market share of more than 30%. This growth has been achieved by focusing on CST’s core competence and by working with a network of best-in-class partners who offer complementary simulation technology. Alongside links to EDA players such as Cadence, interfaces to the leading MW+RF circuit simulation players including Agilent/EEsof and AWR support CST’s strategy to connect best-in-class tools to a well integrated design flow.

Strategic acquisitions in 2007 have further increased CST’s technological competence and market share.

CST’s Technology

CST’s success is based on the implementation of unique, cutting edge technology in a user-friendly interface, and its flagship product, CST MICROWAVE STUDIO^®, is the industry standard for 3D Time Domain simulation.

Newly acquired technology – CST PCB STUDIO™; CST CABLE STUDIO™, CST MICROSTRIPES™ - supports CST’s position in the automotive market, particularly with respect EMC analysis.

CST’s simulation tools enable engineers unprecedented insight into the performance of electrical devices before prototyping, allowing them to see and understand what is often hidden to measurement. This “virtual prototyping” can significantly reduce expensive cut-and-try iterations, helping to bring products to market faster. But not only can the design be optimized, also its installed performance can be simulated. This is of particular importance in the automotive industry due to environmental influences on the device and the increased relevance of EMC.

Main strengths of EM simulation

• Optimisation of design
• EMC/EMI analysis
• Virtual prototyping
• Reduced risk in high cost designs
• Product goes to market faster

CST’s product portfolio for the automotive industry includes:

• CST MICROWAVE STUDIO^® enables fast and accurate 3D EM simulation of high frequency applications.
• CST MICROSTRIPES™offers specialist options for EMC investigation and high frequency simulation and design.
• CST EM STUDIO™covers your EMC needs for low frequency applications.
• CST CABLE STUDIO™is focused on the analysis of SI, EMC and EMI effects on single wires, twisted pairs and complex cable harnesses.
• CST PCB STUDIO™ is a specialist tool for the investigation of Signal and Power Integrity and EMC and EMI effects on PCBs.
• CST DESIGN STUDIO™provides a powerful design environment for synthesis and co-simulation.
