• Ultra-Fast CAD and Optimization of all Kind of Junctions. Such as: •Corners, •Bends, •T-junctions, •H-/E-junctions, •Rotary joints, •U- /S-bends, etc.

WASP-NET utilizes for waveguide structures wherever possible the very efficient and accurate semi-analytic mode-matching (MM) method, which is extended for arbitrary cross-sections by a hybrid MM / finite-element (FE) technique. WASP-NET’s powerful and general hybrid EM CAD engine; however, goes far beyond just applying MM/FE and / or 3D FE methods.
WASP-NET’s pioneering efficient hybrid multi-solver EM CAD engine involves all proven solvers (MM / MoM / FEM / FD / FE-BI / PTD / PO / SBR-PTD). WASP-NET utilizes automatically the most efficient solver for appropriate sub-parts of a structure. This unique hybrid combination of solvers for calculating microwave structures achieves highest EM CAD optimization speed while maintaining full-wave EM accuracy as well as full 3D generality and flexibility.
WASP-NET provides full flexibility of 3D solvers combined with highest efficiency. Standard building blocks, such as steps and irises etc. are available as catalog elements. WASP-NET is, however, not limited by or restricted to catalog elements. User-defined arbitrary 3D structures or parts thereof are conveniently created in WASP-NET by a user-friendly graphic 3D modeler or by text editors. Geometry parameters are fully parametrized for fast direct EM based optimizations.
Fields in desired areas are visualized and maximum field strengths computed. This enables easy checking of power handling and calculation of multipacting effects.
3D structures can be exported and, in particular, also be imported using standard formats (e.g. STEP, SAT, BREP, IGES). In this way, imported structures can be de-composed and parametrized for fast optimizations.
WASP-NET’s EM CAD engine needs for the rigorous calculation of waveguide components merely a couple of seconds on state-of-the-art PCs. Shown speed benchmarks (per frequency point (fr.)) demonstrate WASP-NET’s high efficiency. Highest possible speed is particularly important when optimizing structures.
