The simplest simulation type in EM.Cube is an analysis. In this mode, the planar structure in your project workspace is meshed at the center frequency of the project. EM.Cube generates an input file at this single frequency, and the Planar MoM simulation engine is run once. Upon completion of the planar MoM simulation, a number of data files are generated depending on the observables you have defined in your project. An analysis is a single-run simulation.
EM.Cube offers a number of multi-run simulation modes. In such cases, the Planar MoM simulation engine is run multiple times. At each engine run, certain parameters are varied and a collection of simulation data are generated. At the end of a multi-run simulation, you can graph the simulation results in EM.Grid or you can animate the 3D simulation data from the Navigation Tree. For example, in a frequency sweep, the frequency of the project is varied over its specified bandwidth. Port characteristics are usually plotted vs. frequency, representing your planar structure's frequency response. In an angular sweep, the ? θ or f φ angle of incidence of a plane wave source is varied over their respective ranges. EM.Cube's [[Planar Module]] currently provides the following types of multi-run simulation modes:
