  In the last decades the usage of simulation tools has helped not only to reduce prototype costs but also to improve the understanding of modern electronic devices. Simulation is especially critical for charged particle applications since the complexity of the electromagnetic field calculation is further compounded by the need to take charged particle motion into account. All necessary technology for such a simulation is available in CST STUDIO SUITE under the same interface: A static solver for magnet and electrode design, transient and eigenmode solver for the resonator analysis, PIC and wakefield solver for the simulation of charged particle dynamics and a thermal solver to take heating effects due to material losses or particle impact into account. In parallel to an increasing acceptance of simulation tools, also the expectations have increased. Nowadays, the possibility of simulation is not sufficient and the performance is a key issue. Thus, high performance computing options such as MPI and GPU computing are implemented. In this paper recent developments will be presented, starting from an explanation of the method and demonstrated by various application examples.
