Integration Into Workflow MS Windows Scripting Host COM DCOM
Excel, Word, Matlab, AutoCad, etc...
e.g. ppt-Reports
reports
e.g. bidirectional Excel link
CST Software (MWS, DS)
CST Studios can be both: OLE client and server OLE: CommunicationStandard for Data Exchange 5

Matlab
Call:
CST Software (CST MWS, CST DS)
! "C:\Program Files\CST STUDIO SUITE 2006B\CST DESIGN ENVIRONMENT.exe" –m D:\MBK\Start_CST_5.bas
CST MWS is called Path of the VBA script within the CST DESIGN Sub Main ENVIRONMENT Opens an existing CST MWS file OpenFile("D:\MBK\test1\test1.mod") Solver.Start Start of Transient Solver Save End Sub Saves results and gives control back to Matlab
Execute command in Matlab

Project Templates Customize the default settings for particular types of applications. At the beginning: or later:
File -> New... File -> Select Template...
The template library can be easily extended 7
www.cst.com | Oct-07
Project Templates Input some commands you often use for your MWS structures, e.g.: Frequency range, units, Background-mat + boundaries Definition of materials (parameters, favorite colours ...) Working plane settings (especially snapping !) Monitors at favorite frequencies, ...
Open the history list Mark the commands, press „Macro“ Give a name to your macro, e.g. „File / My defaults“ Click „Make globally available“, then „OK“

Customize CST MWS exactly to your needs Postprocessing Import and compare with measured data Special postprocessing (e.g. TDR) Store Views and Animations in different formats defined goal-functions (e.g. antenna goal) Creating a Powerpoint Presentation

Structure Macros and Control Macros
Structure macros Modify the structure Stored in the history list for parametric model definition Name: ... . mcs Example: Creation of advanced geometry, e.g. spirals,…c
Macros -> Construct -> Coils -> Sectioned Spiral
17
www.cst.com | Oct-07
Structure Macros and Control Macros
Control macros Do not modify the structure Do not need to be stored in the history list Name: ... . mcr Examples: Postprocessing, Calculation of analytical line impedance, etc.
Macros -> Calculate -> Calculate Analytical Line Impedance

Project Macros and Global Macros
Project macros Can be either command macros or structure macros Specific for a particular project Stored with the project. Not available for other projects as well Global macros Can be either command macros or structure macros Generally useful Stored in a global location (Global Macro Path) Can be shared accross projects 19

Result Templates
Purpose: Customized and automized postprocessing Store in
/Library/Result Templates/my_template.rtp Will be evaluated after each solver run. Can perform just an action or return 1D or 0D values.

How to Create Macros? There exist different ways to create a macro Copy and modify an existing macro Go to the history list, select lines and press „Macro“ Use Macro -> Make VBA Control Macro and start from Scratch Let MWS create the macro‘s framework by pressing „Edit“ for defined excitation function defined parameter sweep watch defined optimizer goal function
