Tips and Tricks for Modeling Induction Furnaces
A guest blogger from SIMTEC gives an introduction to the principles of induction heating and shares insight into the modeling of induction furnaces.
Dielectrophoretic Separation
Dielectrophoresis is a phenomenon in which an electric field is used to control the movement of electrically neutral particles. Learn about how to model this effect in both DC and AC fields.
Magnetic Damping of a Vibrating Cantilever Beam
We discuss modeling a cantilever beam in a magnetic field. The beam has some structural excitation at the free end, which vibrates it at a constant frequency. Get details in this blog post.
Analyzing Capacitive Touchscreens in Consumer Electronics
Most of us use multiple touchscreen devices throughout the day, from our smartphones to the ATM. Learn how to use electromagnetics modeling to study capacitive effects in these devices.
Designing Electric Vehicles with Magnetic Cooling Technology
Researchers from the National Institute of Applied Science designed a magnetocaloric HVAC system for an electric vehicle using multiphysics simulation. Get the full story >>
Exploiting Symmetry to Simplify Magnetic Field Modeling
Get an introduction to the types of symmetry boundary conditions that you can exploit in your EM models.
Modeling Convective Cooling of Electrical Devices
We developed a model that includes all of the important details of thermal management in a high-power electrical device. To do so, we needed to use high performance computing with hybrid modeling.
Computing Voltages Produced by Electromagnetic Induction
Have you ever used a “shaker flashlight”? It’s powered by voltage from the electromagnetic induction that occurs when a powerful permanent magnet inside the device oscillates due to the shaking.
