A Planar MoM simulation requires a source and one or more observables if you want to see any results at the end of your simulation. Since it is quite fast, [[EM.Picasso]] can be effectivley used to compute the port characteristics of planar circuits like filters, matching networks, directional couplers, etc. or the radiation characteristics of planar antennas and arrays. De-embedded sources are specifically provided for accurate port characterization. A plane wave source can be used to compute the reflection and transmission characteristics of planar layered periodic structures.
[[EM.CubePicasso]] provides different simulation modes to suit your different modeling needs. The simplest mode is analysis, or a single-shot simulation. You click the Run button, and in a few seconds, the simulation results are generated. You can also run parametric sweeps where the value(s) of one or more project [[variables]] are varied successively. You can define intricate relationships tying your project [[variables]] to the geometrical and material properties of your physical structure. Or you can perform an [[optimization]] whereby the project [[variables]] are varied in a systematic way to achieve one or more design objectives defined based on your project observables.
