WASP-NET 2025

WASP-NET is a high-performance hybrid electromagnetic (EM) computer-aided design (CAD) and optimization tool integrated into Dassault Systèmes’ SIMULIA CST Studio Suite 2025.  WASP-NET enhances CST’s capabilities for microwave, antenna, space, and communication engineering by providing fast, accurate full-wave EM simulations and optimizations. Released as part of CST Studio Suite 2025, it is now bundled in the CST installer alongside other tools like Antenna Magus and Filter Designer 3D, accessible via a unified license model (ULM) for seamless front-end/GUI usage.

Key Features and Technology WASP-NET stands out for its hybrid multi-solver architecture, which combines the speed of mode-matching (MM) techniques with the flexibility of finite-element (FE) methods and the efficiency of method-of-moments (MoM) for radiation computations. This is accelerated by advanced algorithms including:

• Domain-Decomposition Method (DDM)
• Fast Multipole Method (FMM)
• Adaptive Integral Method (AIM)
• Adaptive Cross-Evaluation (ACE)
• Iterative Physical Optics (IPO)
• Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD)

This enables:

• Rapid Optimization: Direct full-wave EM optimization for passive microwave components, antennas, arrays, and feed networks, allowing extensive design space exploration in minimal time.
• High Accuracy and Speed: Full 3D structure flexibility with rigorous EM-level analysis, reducing time-to-market for industries like 5G/6G communications, aerospace, and RF systems.
• Integration with CST: Supports EDA imports (e.g., ODB++ or IPC-2581 formats) and works alongside CST’s T-Solvers (FIT, TLM), integral equation solvers, and new features like field source ports for IP-protected simulations.

Applications

• Antenna and Array Design: Efficient modeling of complex arrays with feed networks.
• Microwave Components: Filters, couplers, and transitions optimized at full-wave accuracy.
• Communication Systems: Simulations for space and terrestrial networks, including RCS (Radar Cross-Section) analysis.
• 5G/6G Enhancements: Leverages CST 2025’s GPU-accelerated T-Solver upgrades and Floquet boundaries for periodic structures.
