CENOS™ RF is a more affordable alternative for Radio Frequency simulation software
CENOS™ RF is a proven 3D simulation software for high-frequency design with affordable price and fast learning ability. It enables fast and efficient expansion of the RF design team while keeping software costs in check.


APPLICATION OVERVIEW
CENOS™ radio frequency is a FEM software, good for wide range of applications
The unparalleled capacity and phenomenal accuracy of CENOS™ RF enables engineers to solve RF, microwave, EMI problems for the most complex systems.
CENOS™ RF is 3D electromagnetic simulation software (EM) for the design and simulation of high-frequency electronic products such as antennas, antenna arrays, RF or microwave components, high-speed interconnects, filters, connectors. CENOS™ RF is used by engineers around the world to design high-frequency and high-speed electronics used in drones, satellites, spacecraft, medical devices, sensors, robots, vehicles, hardware solutions, hardware applications, GPS trackers, IoT devices.
CENOS™ RF is used in small and medium-sized technology and engineering companies worldwide.
It offers significant time-to-market advantages and enables shorter development cycles and lower costs. Virtual prototyping is made possible through simulation.
Device performance can be optimised, potential compliance issues can be identified and mitigated early in the development process, the number of physical prototypes required can be reduced, and the risk of test failures and recalls can be reduced.

Main areas of the CENOS™ RF
Create simulations for application groups such as microstrip, horn, reflector, wire antennas, and waveguides. Study the ideal placement of an antenna in a device to ensure maximum radiation pattern in the least amount of space. Use powerful visualization tools to share and analyze various RF designs with colleagues and partners.


CAD file support
A user of CENOS™ RF simulation software can easily upload CAD (step) files. In the majority of cases, the mesh is created automatically. Recent tests by our engineers have shown that 75% of all CAD fields are successfully meshed automatically, only the remaining 25% need to be meshed manually.
Recalculation and analysis
All settings are kept if the user wants to recalculate the model with changed parameters. If the user changes a geometric parameter, the file CAD can be reloaded; all model parameters are retained and the mesh is automatically rebuilt, whether generated by CENOS™ or controlled by the user.

TESTIMONIALS
What our customers say about CENOS™
“Overall 2.0 is much easier to use and automatic meshing seem to work well.
Sim just finished and the 3D view has appeared and I am excited. I had been struggling to get a similar antenna design to sim using the old tool but is working. I like having being able to modify the variables in the Radio Frequency setup.
I have a big smile on my face.”
