Computing Design Sensitivities in COMSOL Multiphysics
You can compute design sensitivities via the core functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics®. We show you how with a parallel plate capacitor example.
Should We Model Graphene as a 2D Sheet or Thin 3D Volume?
Graphene is a 2D sheet of carbon atoms that is 1 atomic layer thick. However, is graphene actually 2D or is it just incredibly thin, like a very fine piece of paper? How should it be modeled?
Simulating a Transparent Light Pipe to Optimize Transmittance
Transparent light pipes are used as an optimal source of natural light for underground areas, like subway stations, and areas without a lot of natural light, like prisons.
Simulation-Led Design Is Better and More Accessible than Ever
In the early days of simulation, it was only used by a small handful of R&D specialists. Thanks to recent developments in hardware and simulation software, this handy tool is more accessible.
