CST2013: Special Solver Parameters - Steady State

Simulation: SolverStart SimulationSpecialsSteady State

Maximum solver duration

Number of pulses: This number limits the maximal simulation time. This limit is calculated by multiplying the given number with the Gaussian pulse width that is used as stimulation signal. This pulse width depends on the frequency range resp. total time addressed by the reference excitation signal.

Time: This number limits the maximal simulation time.

Propagation distance: This number is used to calculate the maximal simulation time by dividing it with the speed of light.

Normally the simulation time should not reach this limit. It should be stopped automatically by the steady-state test. You can set the accuracy for the steady state test in the solver dialog box. This test considers the energy decay and also the decay of the port mode amplitudes. Both criteria together determine the abort of the simulation.

OK

Accepts the input and closes the dialog.

Cancel

Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
