Membrane Interface Improvements in Version 5.0
As of version 5.0 of COMSOL Multiphysics®, the Membrane interface includes a restructured menu, new feature nodes, improvements to the Linear Elastic Material model, and more.
New Accumulators Boost Particle and Ray Tracing Functionality
Accumulators, a series of features available in the Particle Tracing Module, can be used to couple the results of a particle tracing simulation to other physics interfaces.
Which Fatigue Model Should I Choose?
Have you ever asked yourself, “Which fatigue model should I use in my simulations?” If so, read this blog post for a comprehensive overview of the available Fatigue Module models.
Analyzing Aircraft Engine Noise Through Simulation
By modeling flow duct systems in aircraft engines, it is possible to optimize the shape of certain engine duct parts and the lining properties in order to reduce the sound emission.
Rosetta and Philae: A Historic Landing on a Comet
In 2014, the spacecraft Philae, aboard the Rosetta, landed on a comet for the first time ever. We talk to 2 of the scientists involved in this project about what this means >>
Synthesizing Graphene with Chemical Vapor Deposition
Chemical vapor deposition is an attractive method for producing graphene, an ultrastrong and light polymer material. Researchers from University of Arkansas used simulation to study this process.
Coupling Structural Mechanics Interfaces
The Structural Mechanics Module consists of specialized interfaces: Solid Mechanics; Shell, Plate, and Membrane for modeling thin structures; and Beam and Truss for modeling slender structures.
Green Energy Management for Communication Systems
