Modeling Thin Dielectric Films in Optics
Interested in modeling optical systems with dielectric films? Get an overview of some of the built-in tools in the Ray Optics Module for these modeling scenarios.
How to Create a Simulation App: Horn Antenna Demo
Get a comprehensive overview of what a simulation app is. We use the Corrugated Circular Horn Antenna Simulator demo app to demonstrate some of apps’ many benefits.
How to Model Rotating Machinery in 3D
There are many different types of electrical machines, but rotating machines like generators and motors play a major role in our modern industrial society. Learn how to model these systems in 3D.
Simulating Antenna Crosstalk on an Airplane
The last airplane you flew aboard most likely had multiple antennas on its fuselage. This creates crosstalk between antennas that can disturb the operation of the aircraft. RF simulation can help.
Evaluating a UHF RFID Tag Design with Simulation
Did you know that ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID tags have a wider range than other types of RFID tags? This is why they are often used to identify animals.
Vivaldi Antenna Design Analysis
Did you know the Vivaldi antenna was invented by someone named Peter Gibson? As the story goes, he had a passion for music and chose to name the antenna after Antonio Vivaldi, a Baroque composer.
Modeling with Linearly Polarized Plane Waves
We use the Detecting the Orientation of a Metallic Cylinder Embedded in a Dielectric Shell model to demonstrate a specialized background field feature designed for linearly polarized plane waves.
Modeling Current Distributions in a Molten Salt Electro-Refiner
A guest blogger from SIMTEC discusses how he uses simulation to analyze current distributions in a molten salt electrorefiner. Get details here >>
