Analyze Violin Tone and Volume with Multiphysics Modeling
What is the purpose of those f-shaped holes in a violin? As it turns out, both the body of a violin and shape of its holes greatly affect its tone and volume.
Designing an App to Analyze Stress in a Pressure Vessel
Learn how to use the Application Builder in COMSOL Multiphysics® to create an efficient and accurate design workflow, using an example of a pressure vessel design app.
Studying Transient Heat Transfer in a Fin Design with an App
A guest blogger and author presents a simulation app that he designed to study transient heat transfer in a nonprismatic fin.
Control Current and Voltage Sources with the AC/DC Module
Did you know that you can use the Terminal boundary condition to dynamically switch between excitation types during a transient simulation? This is useful for modeling power supply, for example.
Multiphysics Simulation Provides Accurate Muffler Designs
A guest blogger from Lightness by Design, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, shares how multiphysics simulation provides accurate results when designing automotive mufflers.
Newtecnic Creates Better Building Façades with Simulation
Engineers at Newtecnic use COMSOL Multiphysics® to balance elements such as stability, efficiency, and comfort when creating building façades that are both eye-catching and functional.
Simulation Improves Range of Motion in Piezoelectric Actuators
We highlight 1.) some of the fundamental elements of piezoelectric theory and basic simulations and 2.) a novel design for improving the range of motion for piezoelectric actuators.
Efficiently Study Noise Distribution in a House with an App
Simulation apps can be used by those with little knowledge of simulation to run their own acoustics analyses. Learn about one example, the One-Family House Acoustics Analyzer, here.
