Service Pack 2010.03 General / Environment Re-ordering during processing of jobs is now possible in Job Control Center. New Feature! Improved display of labels for all project sheets when using non ASCII character sets. Curve Selection dialog box is now vertically re-sizable. Added new command-line options: -machinefile and -queuesys (Must be specified with -withmpi) New Feature! ADS link: Fixed matrix setup problem with ADS dll and assure proper start of CST DESIGN ENVIRONMENT.exe. Modeler / Structure Visualization / Imports The orientation of arcs was wrong for certain polylines when importing a DXF file. The user-settings are now correctly restored when reopening the Sensitivity dialog box, before pressing Apply in the solver dialog box. Improved preview for alignment feature. Improved discrete face port creation. Fixed scaling of objects that support just uniform scaling. EDA Imports Corrected pads rotation for non-standard shapes in Cadence import. Fixed problem of wrong pick information when transferring a project containing a PCB-import from Windows to Linux. Corrected offset of pins. Improved annular pads. Ignore broken component outlines in ODB++ import and issue a warning instead of an error. Distributed Computing (DC) It is now always ensured that the Frontend license is checked in by the MainController if the Design Environment has checked it out before. CST MICROWAVE STUDIO - Transient Solver Verified Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for GPU Computing. New Feature! Added Linux GPU driver 195.30 to list of verified drivers for FX 5600. New Feature! Improved performance if multiple mirroring is used for broadband farfield monitors. Consider averaged voltage value for lumped element monitors. Improved handling of lossy dielectric simplification. CST MICROWAVE STUDIO - Frequency Domain (FD) Solvers The tetrahedral FD solver now can handle any kind of complex dispersive material tensor defined using the VBA commands Material.TensorFormula*. New Feature! In continued tetrahedral FD solver runs with the SQL signal storage mode active, newly calculated S-parameter results were sometimes not visualized correctly. The tetrahedral FD's first order iterative solver sometimes terminated abnormally with discrete face ports other than rectangular or cylindrical face ports. If distributed sampling was running but aborted by the user, then the continued FD solver run did not write interpolation information for S-parameters in some cases. The continuation of a solver run with SIG files by another solver run using SQL data storage sometimes delivered evidently erroneous S-parameter plots. Field monitor values for rectangular face ports embedded in a magnetic symmetry plane were a factor of sqrt(2) too high. CST MICROWAVE STUDIO - Integral Equation Solver Improved the warning if a farfield source is defined too close to the structure. CST MICROWAVE STUDIO - Asymptotic Solver The Asymptotic Solver supports farfield source as excitation. New Feature! CST PARTICLE STUDIO Solvers Improved the PIC explosive emission model and reduced high frequency excitation due to this kind of emission. PIC 1D plots are now at correct positions in the navigation tree under Linux. New ASCII interface to import .pid files for particles in the tracking solver. New Feature! CST MPHYSICS Solvers Added a maximum iterations setting to the Stationary Thermal Solver - Specials dialog box. New Feature! CST CABLE STUDIO Improved accuracy when a RSD file is loaded in CST MWS. Resolved problems with H-Spice export of no-ground models. Fixed issue when closing a project. If a solid is not marked as use for simulation, this is now treated correctly. When changing the base units, now the results are deleted without a prompting dialog box. CST PCB STUDIO Resolved special issue that the capacitance values were not calculated correctly by the 2D TL solver. Stability enhancements of 3D(FEFD)/PI solver. 2D TL solver mesh creation: Fixed missing reference copper in cross section. CST MICROSTRIPES Improved calculation of compact source size based on rotation index. CST DESIGN STUDIO Fixed problem when placing a VBA block in the schematic. Problems with combine results and differential pin pairs resolved. Resolved incorrect treatment of some IBIS models. Repaired problem with IBIS parser. Save external projects cache correctly during Save As. Fixed memory leak in optimizer, parameter sweep and tuner. Repaired special issue in superblock detection. Fixed wrong transposition of scattering matrix in model order reduction. Avoided non-convergence in a transient simulation due to infinitely steep flanks when importing signals by an ASCII file. Resolved wrong currents for transient simulation with fixed time steps. Improved heuristic for choosing the appropriate solver (Dense or Sparse). Post Processing / Fields Resolved issue of unit cell farfields with a de-coupling plane. Fixed normal position coordinate in ASCII export for 2D field plot with hexahedral grid. Result Templates / VBA / Macros / External Data Access New 1D Result Template 3D Eigenmode Result (Multiple Modes). New Feature! New actions Convert x-axis from Frq to Wavelength / x-sort / histogram in 1D Result Template + 1D Result from 1D Result. New Feature! New actions for stochastic mean and sigma values in 0D Result Template + 0D Value from 1D Result. New Feature! Farfield 1D plots are addressed correctly now when using Plot1D-VBA commands to modify their plot properties. New VBA command ScalarPlot2D.RobustCrossSection for using the robust cross section. Added new macro Farfield/Antenna Coupling. New Feature!
