To provide an external electrostatic DC voltage in CST (Computer Simulation Technology), you can follow these general steps:
Create the Geometry: Design the patch and ground structures in CST. This involves creating the necessary geometrical shapes (e.g., rectangles for the patch and ground) and specifying their dimensions and positions.
Define Materials: Assign appropriate material properties to the patch and ground structures. For electrostatic simulations, you may need to specify the dielectric constant or relative permittivity of the materials.
Set Boundary Conditions: Define the boundary conditions for the simulation. In this case, you need to specify the external electrostatic DC voltage. Depending on the specific version of CST you are using, the steps to set the boundary conditions may vary slightly. Look for options like "Voltage Boundary" or "Charge Boundary" in the software's user interface.
Apply the DC Voltage: Select the patch and ground structures and assign the desired DC voltage to them. In CST, you can typically do this by right-clicking on the selected structures and choosing the appropriate option to set the voltage.
Configure the Solver: Set up the simulation solver parameters, such as convergence criteria, mesh settings, and time step (if applicable). Ensure that the simulation settings are appropriate for an electrostatic analysis.
Run the Simulation: Start the simulation in CST and wait for it to complete. The software will solve the electrostatic field equations based on the applied DC voltage and the defined geometry and materials.
Analyze the Results: Once the simulation is finished, you can analyze the results to evaluate the electric field distribution, potential distribution, or other relevant quantities of interest. CST provides various post-processing tools to visualize and extract the desired information.
It's worth noting that the exact steps and options in CST may vary depending on the specific version you are using. Therefore, it's recommended to consult the software's documentation or user guide for detailed instructions tailored to your version of CST.
