How to Use the Find and Auto Completion Tools for Faster Model Setup
Looking for a way to set up your models faster? 1 approach is by using the Find and Auto Complete tools. We discuss how to use these tools and demonstrate in an embedded tutorial video.
Capturing Eddy Current Losses in a Permanent Magnet Motor Design
Permanent magnet (PM) motors are becoming more prevalent in transportation due to their energy efficiency. You can study Eddy current losses in a PM motor design with the AC/DC Module.
Modeling a Transient Contact Problem with Stick-Slip Friction Transition
Stick-slip friction transition is a phenomenon relevant to many transient mechanical contact problems. You can use structural analysis to evaluate these effects.
How to Use the New Ray Termination Feature for Geometrical Optics
You can simplify your optical simulations performed with the Ray Optics Module — including model setup and results analysis — with the Ray Termination feature. Read about how to use it here.
Faraday Cages Say ‘Do Not Pass’ to Electromagnetic Waves
Faraday cages are found in microwave ovens, protection suits worn by electrical line workers, and even novel “boxes” that are meant to eliminate distractions from cellphones and other devices.
