Designing Future Technologies with Gallium
Here’s a piece of element trivia: Gallium’s existence was first predicted by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1871, but it was not discovered spectroscopically until 1875 by Lecoq de Boisbaudran.
Thermal Contact Resistance Simulation
When 2 materials are in direct contact, thermal conductivity is determined by their properties, but surface roughness introduces air-filled gaps between the materials. How do you model this?
Magnetic Cooling Technology in Refrigeration
Is your refrigerator running? Then you better go catch it (and see if it uses magnetic cooling technology, which offers a greener approach to preserving foods)!
Combining Parallel Slices to Create an Animation
Want to animate how your 3D steady-state model’s solution is changing along a certain direction? You can do so by combining parallel slices. We demonstrate the 3-step process…
Accurate Hematology Analysis Using Hydrofocusing
Hematology analysis is important for diagnosis and treatment. Researchers at HORIBA Medical used simulation to develop new methods for analyzing the accuracy of their hematology analysis devices.
Selective Laser Sintering for Prototype Production
A type of 3D printing called selective laser sintering is used to produce everything from metal prototypes and plastic, ceramic, and glass materials to coffee! Learn about modeling this process.
Modeling a Coil Heat Exchanger
Coil heat exchangers are simple and easy to manufacture — but what about modeling them? Adding expressions to compute the temperature drop between coil turns simplifies the modeling process.
Reducing Vibrations with Viscoelastic Structural Dampers
Whether caused by an earthquake or everyday wind, when a structure undergoes vibrations, its components experience stresses and strains. Viscoelastic structural dampers can help >>
