Streamlining Capacitive Touchscreen Design with Apps
In this comprehensive blog post, we discuss the different design considerations for capacitive touchscreens and how simulation apps can be used to streamline their design workflow.
Guidelines for Modeling Rotating Machines in 3D
Learn how to use the Rotating Machinery, Magnetic interface in COMSOL Multiphysics® to model a 3D generator, and then compare our results with an analogous 2D model. Part 2 of 2.
Simulation Improves Range of Motion in Piezoelectric Actuators
We highlight 1.) some of the fundamental elements of piezoelectric theory and basic simulations and 2.) a novel design for improving the range of motion for piezoelectric actuators.
Modeling Phononic Band Gap Materials and Structures
A guest blogger from Veryst Engineering, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, shares simulation research designed to optimize band gaps for phononic crystals.
Model Cables and Transmission Lines in COMSOL Multiphysics
Learn how to compute the parameters of a coaxial cable from a COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation of the electromagnetic fields.
Piezoelectric Materials: Applying the Standards
Learn how to set up the orientation of a piezoelectric crystal, specifically an AT cut quartz plate, within both the IRE 1949 standard and the IEEE 1978 standard.
Study Radiofrequency Tissue Ablation Using Simulation
Killing cancerous cells, shrinking collagen, alleviating pain. These are just some of the medical purposes of radiofrequency tissue ablation, a procedure that relies on targeted heat.
Calculating the Emission Spectra from Common Light Sources
We use COMSOL Multiphysics® to calculate the emission spectra of 4 common light sources: natural daylight, incandescent light bulbs, fluorescent light bulbs, and LED bulbs.
