[SI-LIST] Re: CST vs. HFSS

I've been trying EMDS, the plus points are it is cheap, and seems
reasonable for the simple structures I have tried. It feels a lot like
HFSS to use, unsurprising given the heritage. The downsides are that it
does not allow parameter sweeping, you cannot define objects using
variables and you cannot script, all of which mean that it is hard to
optimise the designs. Some of these issues are meant to be fixed in the
next release (anyone heard that one before ?).
