The SIMULIA simulation portfolio comprises a wide range of solvers, enabling the simulation of devices that operate employing the interaction of free-moving particles and electromagnetic fields. This part of the portfolio relies on the well-established technologies provided through CST Studio Suite and Opera. Charged particle dynamics simulation is essential to analyzing and optimizing various charged particle devices. The simulation process of a particle's life can start with the emission of the particles and the effects of accelerating electrostatic and focusing magnetostatic fields that they are exposed to. In addition, these devices creating external fields are carefully designed using highly accurate static simulation. At very high energies, the relativistic equations of motion must also be considered. Particle simulation can consider the fields generated by the particles as space charge, which overlays the external electromagnetic fields. The self-electromagnetic fields can introduce a transient component that acts back on the particles. At this point, we require a fully self-consistent Particle-in-Cell simulation. To reach higher particle energies, the particle beam is exposed to RF-fields. An electron beam can now approach the speed of light, the ultrarelativistic limit. The particle beam is considered as a current that creates electromagnetic fields, wake fields that can act back on itself or on following beams. Various beam optic devices guide the beam. CST Studio Suite and Opera include several tools for designing charged particle devices.
