Enzyme Kinetics, Michaelis-Menten Mechanism
For the 100-year anniversary of the Michaelis–Menten mechanism, we honor the trailblazing publication the best way we know how — with simulation.
Benchmark Model Results Agree with Fresnel Equations
Bright idea: When a ray of light (an electromagnetic wave) propagating through free space hits a dielectric medium, part of the light will be transmitted and part will be reflected.
Defining Curvilinear Coordinates for Anisotropic Materials
Consider a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer with woven fibers embedded in an epoxy matrix. How can you express the anisotropy by referring to the well-known Cartesian coordinate system?
Solutions as Starting Point Values with LiveLink™ for MATLAB®
Did you know that if you want to map data from 1 COMSOL Multiphysics® solution to the next using MATLAB® scripting, you can do so by connecting the 2 software programs via LiveLink™ for MATLAB®?
Buckling, When Structures Suddenly Collapse
The easiest way to approach a buckling problem — like a bridge collapse or crushed soda can — is by performing a linearized buckling analysis. See how to do so in COMSOL Multiphysics® here >>
Hybrid Computing: Advantages of Shared and Distributed Memory Combined
Shared memory platform + distributed memory platform = hybrid computing. Learn about the various aspects of hybrid computing and modeling in this installment of our blog series.
Plotting Spatial Derivatives of the Magnetic Field
Radiology, magnetophoresis, particle accelerators, and geophysics are all areas where it is useful to compute the spatial derivative of the magnetic field or magnetic flux density.
Selecting First Gear: Investigating a Classic Car Gearshift Mechanism
Follow along as we perform a multibody dynamics analysis of the gearshift mechanism in a classic car. Read to hit the road?
