How to Choose Between Boundary Conditions for Coil Modeling
3 approaches for truncating a domain when modeling an EM coil in free space: the Magnetic Insulation and Perfect Magnetic Conductor boundary conditions as well as the infinite element domain.
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.
Model How the Bubbles in a Glass of Stout Beer Sink, Not Rise
Ever notice how the bubbles in certain kinds of stout beer sink to the bottom of the glass instead of rising to the top? We explain this phenomenon using fluid flow simulation.
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.
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.
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.
Accessing External Material Models for Magnetic Simulations
Get a demonstration of how access external material models for EM simulations with a hysteresis example. Plus, get an overview of the available functionality for modeling ferromagnetic materials.
Designing an App to Analyze Stress in a Pressure Vessel
