Thermal Modeling of Phase-Change Materials with Hysteresis
Hysteresis occurs when the melting temperature of a material is different from the solidification temperature. We demonstrate the thermal modeling of such a material here.
Creating an App to Prevent Buckling in a Truss Tower Design
A simulation app can be used to calculate the critical compressive load for different truss tower configurations. We demonstrate such an app, which can be used as inspiration for your own, here.
Modeling the Thermal Curing Process
Polymerization of a thermoset resin is one example of thermal curing, a process in which temperature-induced chemical change occurs in a material.
App: Design a Geothermal Heat Pump’s Heat Recovery System
The design and installation of a geothermal heat pump often involves many different configurations, which can be easily tested with a simulation app. See an example in action here.
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.
Using Radial Basis Functions for Surface Interpolation
Did you know that you can easily calculate the interpolation between a set of points using a simulation app? Learn more here and download a demo app for design inspiration.
Automate Model Preprocessing with the Application Builder
Ever wish you could automate your model preprocessing tasks? In this blog post, we demonstrate how you can use the Application Builder to quickly convert a text input file into a COMSOL model.
Improving Vascular Access for the Treatment of ESRD Patients
By combining CFD simulations with shape optimization techniques, biomedical engineers can better understand and predict vascular access for renal disease treatments.
