Using Effective Mass for Thermomechanical Calibration
Researchers from the University of Alberta use simulation for an efficient and noninvasive way to achieve thermomechanical calibration. Learn more about their research and its applications.
Surface, Volume, and Line Plots: Visualizing Results on a Heat Sink
3 of the most common plot types used in postprocessing: surface, volume, and line plots. Learn how to use these plot types for your simulation results and when to use each option.
Designing Future Technologies with Gallium
Here’s a piece of element trivia: Gallium’s existence was first predicted by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1871, but it was not discovered spectroscopically until 1875 by Lecoq de Boisbaudran.
Thermal Contact Resistance Simulation
When 2 materials are in direct contact, thermal conductivity is determined by their properties, but surface roughness introduces air-filled gaps between the materials. How do you model this?
Magnetic Cooling Technology in Refrigeration
Is your refrigerator running? Then you better go catch it (and see if it uses magnetic cooling technology, which offers a greener approach to preserving foods)!
Combining Parallel Slices to Create an Animation
Want to animate how your 3D steady-state model’s solution is changing along a certain direction? You can do so by combining parallel slices. We demonstrate the 3-step process…
Accurate Hematology Analysis Using Hydrofocusing
