Evaluating an Insulin Micropump Design for Treating Diabetes
Researchers from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology used simulation to develop a MEMS-based micropump that could administer insulin injections in a safe and painless way.
Analyzing the Design of a Thermoelectric Device for Cryotherapy
Researchers at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. turned to simulation to investigate the potential of using a thermoelectric cooler, or Peltier device, to cool a cryogenic probe.
GTI Streamlines Gas Pipeline Maintenance Procedures with Simulation
Researchers from OTD and GTI teamed up and used simulation to investigate the standard distance requirements for streamlined and safe gas pipeline maintenance.
An Introduction to Gear Modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics
Automobiles, electric motors, wind turbines, and other machines all require gearboxes in order to change speed or torque. Get an intro to modeling gears in COMSOL Multiphysics® in this post.
Efficiently Analyze Civil Engineering Designs Using an App
The Truss Bridge Designer demo app is just one example of what’s possible when you build a simulation app for analyzing civil engineering structures.
How to Implement a Delay in Your Thermostat Simulation
When simulating a thermostat in COMSOL Multiphysics®, you can implement a delay for short-cycling in addition to the on and off setpoints. See how here.
Connecting the Dots Between Theory, Model, and App
We explore how the concepts of theory, model, and simulation app connect and relate to each other, using the example of analyzing buckling in a truss tower design.
