How to Activate Material in Simulations of Manufacturing Processes
Do you model manufacturing processes such as welding or additive manufacturing? You can activate or deactivate a material in a material deposition simulation using specialized functionality.
Course: Defining Multiphysics Models
There are 3 approaches to setting up a multiphysics model in the COMSOL® software: Fully automatic, manual with predefined couplings, and manual with user-defined couplings. Here, we discuss #1.
How to Perform a STOP Analysis with COMSOL Multiphysics®
Interested in structural-thermal-optical performance (STOP) analysis? We go over the theory, background, and how to perform such an analysis in the Ray Optics Module.
Photos from the COMSOL Conference 2018 Lausanne
Here’s the photo album from the COMSOL Conference 2018 Lausanne. Try to spot an original Swiss cowbell, traditional Swiss cheese and wine, and the group of alphorn players.
Understanding Classical Gray Body Radiation Theory
Imagine how efficient an incandescent lamp with an infrared suppressing black body filament would be. Alas, classical gray body radiation theory tell us this “dream lamp” is an impossibility…
Validating the Use of Boundary Elements for Magnetostatics Modeling
To validate the boundary element method (BEM) as a viable alternative to FEM for magnetostatics modeling, you can try a 3-part tutorial series of electromagnetic force calculations.
Simulating the Tunneling Current Across a Graded Heterojunction
Interested in semiconductor design? Get an intro to the theory behind quantum tunneling as well as a demonstration of simulating the tunneling current across a graded heterojunction.
Evaluating Transformer Designs with Electromagnetics Simulation
Transformers are used to increase, decrease, and isolate voltage in many different types of devices. EM simulation can be used to evaluate a transformer design, no matter its purpose.
