Veryst Combines Material Testing and Simulation for Reliable Results
Simulation helps companies develop the best designs. Understanding material behavior plays a key role in generating accurate simulations. Here’s how Veryst combines testing and FSI simulation.
Performing a Multiphysics Analysis of a Thermal Microactuator
To design an optimized thermal microactuator for use in a specific device, you need to account for tightly coupled electrical, thermal, and structural phenomena in your analysis.
Reducing the Magnetic Signature of a Submarine
For a submarine to avoid detection and remain “under the radar”, engineers need to investigate the magnetic signature of the vessel’s design. Electromagnetics simulation is up to the task.
