CST microwave studio is a licensed 3D electromagnetic modelling solver. Some projects may need to simulate their structures in this computational environment prior to the final measurement campaign in the lab.

- The VPN worksatation
- The CST workstation 

Check the network configuration here

First:
- You have to install a VPN in your PC according to the provided guidelines
- Then, login in at the VPN server using the provided credentials

- Run the "Remote Desktop" application in your PC and login to the CST workstation at 193.136.223.7 using the corresponding credentials
  

Each group has a dedicated folder in the CST workstation:  
  D:\\Carlos Fernandes\RCSEn\2023\UserX
    

where X = UserA for G1
              = UserB for G2                    ...

- You will receive by e-email a basic CST model corresponding to your project.
   This is intended to reduce the time needed to start working.
   But it will not be useful at all without understanding CST basics. Watch my CST video tutorial
   (if you try to fly an airplane but didn't learn how to, you will crash :) 

- Copy the model file to your designated folder and double click to run it on CST

- When leaving the workstation, do not forget to disconnect your session

- In mail exchanges, always use the [RCSen] label and the Group number. Always include all group members in copy

Do not

- Work outside the provided folder

- Waste computation time with unnecessary analysis because it is a shared resource anf therefore will reflect on availability time for others

- Accumulate excessive datafiles in the disk. CST easily generates GBytes of files for each simulation.

- Install any applications or alien files, because there have been severe penalties from license owners when unlicensed software in used in our Workstations
