Besides the compatibility with other tools in your designflow (CAD, CAM,
PCB...) and the applications you are working on (Antennas, PCBs, Connectors...)
you should also look for Hardware comatibility. Each of the solvers has a
different way to run the simulations, and depending on the hardware one is
quicker than the other (CST for instance works best with a very fast FSB).
From my point of view both tools give you very accurate results (if you use
them correctly), thus it is speed and compatibility that should matter.
Cost is not easy to compare, because both tools come with a different licensing
scheme. You have to choose which features you need, and very often there are
features included in licensing packages that you might not need.
Hardware acceleration and simultanious computing is something you should
consider. Depending on the type of simulation you are running, you might want
to simulate several ports in parallel, od maybe simulate different parameters
separately. This is also different for both tools.
You should make a list about what you need:
-type of simulation
-number of ports
-parameter sweep/optimization, Yes/No?
-do you want to use existing hardware?
-CAD/CAM interface?
-Data export?
.
.
.
Send the list to the sales reps. and ask for a quote and testlicense. If you
have 3D or CAM data you would like to simulate, let them do a benchmark on your
structures.
If in the end you still don't know...just pick one, they are both great.

Hello
I have the option of buying either HFSS or CST.
Which one should I buy? which is better? and How much is the approx. cost
difference.
Thanks
