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.
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.
Designing an App to Analyze Stress in a Pressure Vessel
Learn how to use the Application Builder in COMSOL Multiphysics® to create an efficient and accurate design workflow, using an example of a pressure vessel design app.
Studying Transient Heat Transfer in a Fin Design with an App
A guest blogger and author presents a simulation app that he designed to study transient heat transfer in a nonprismatic fin.
Control Current and Voltage Sources with the AC/DC Module
Did you know that you can use the Terminal boundary condition to dynamically switch between excitation types during a transient simulation? This is useful for modeling power supply, for example.
Multiphysics Simulation Provides Accurate Muffler Designs
A guest blogger from Lightness by Design, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, shares how multiphysics simulation provides accurate results when designing automotive mufflers.
Newtecnic Creates Better Building Façades with Simulation
Engineers at Newtecnic use COMSOL Multiphysics® to balance elements such as stability, efficiency, and comfort when creating building façades that are both eye-catching and functional.
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.
