Very informative talk by @FD at the SIMULIA ECAL RUM this morning, showing improvements to sensitivity based parametric optimization, e.g. to optimise coax to waveguide transition with 7 geometric parameters in just 5 simulation steps.
He also introduced the combination of Tosca and CST Studio Suite for the non-parametric shape optimization of RF components like waveguide transitions, further improving the performance.
Combining parametric and non-parametric optimization makes for a very powerful combination to get the maximum performance out of RF components.
