… all you need for antenna design in an easy-to-use way, because this is the software specialized on RF antenna design with full spectrum of necessary functionality. And we are constantly working to add more value.

Hardware requirements

You don’t need a supercomputer to run antenna design simulations with CENOS. Intel i5 or i7 (or similar) are good enough. The faster processor you have, the faster calculation will go.

We recommend to have at least 16Gb RAM to calculate 3D cases, 32Gb is better. Actually, the more RAM you have, the bigger (more complex) 3D geometries you can simulate. Some of our customers use 128 Gb machines and that’s like for rocket-science-cases.

Benefits

Designing antennas is technically challenging. Computer simulations help tackle design challenges with geometric and electromagnetic constraints, while limiting costs of materials and design time. 

​

CENOS provides unmatched ease-of-use for beginners and experienced simulation engineers. Our users save tons of time by using specialized CENOS Antenna Design software, compared to general purpose software such as HFSS, CST, FEKO and Comsol.

​

Finite element method (FEM) solver allows to handle simulation of geometry and antenna type of unlimited complexity with no limitations or simplifications (opposite to MoM method). FEM allows handling multiple ports (feeds) in one simulation (while FDTD does separate simulations for each port).
 

Data security

CENOS is a desktop software, which means it is safe by design. CENOS keeps all data at your premises, on your PC:

CAD files, materials data, all input parameters, results of simulations. It's all fully secure because data never leaves your computer.
 

We require an internet connection just to verify your software license. Connection to our license server is the only dataflow going out of your computer.
