Can you simulate periodic structures in CST Studio Suite?
In general, when starting a new simulation project in CST Studio Suite, the recommendation is to create a new project using the project templates.
Using the templates, the user defines which application will be simulated, e.g., microwaves & RF/optical. There is a subsection for periodic structures such as metamaterials or FSS (frequency selective surfaces).
Using the project templates, CST will suggest which solver and which boundary conditions to use, as well as mesh settings.
All settings can be edited by the user throughout the simulation project, but these initial settings provide a great starting point.
