Freefrom optics has generated renewed interest due to advances in fabrication and manufacturing technology. In this Application Library example, we are going to look at a specific design called the Alvarez lens where two complementary conic surfaces are shifted laterally with respect to ... Read More
This model is used to demonstrate the solution to a classic brainteaser in electromagnetics. A long loop of wire is connected to a source and a receiver, which are placed 1 meter apart. The objective of the model is to compute how long it takes for the receiver to sense when the source ... Read More
Electroporation is a technique where a localized electric field is used to generate nanometric pores in cell membranes, improving the cell permeability for ions and pharmaceuticals. This model shows the electroporation of a spherical cell by means of a nanosecond electric pulse. The ... Read More
This model simulates a holographic page data storage system. The studies include the recording and retrieval processes. The object beam encrypting 8-bit data is focused into a holographic material by a Fourier lens (Fourier transformation). In the recording process, the object beam ... Read More
A waveguide filter is designed using shape optimization by moving and scaling rectangles in the geometry. The irises of the initial geometry are optimized to ensure good bandpass response and out-of-band rejection, while maintaining the double mirror symmetry. The EGO optimization solver ... Read More
This model describes a pencil beam scanning (PBS) magnet system for use in medical proton therapy. Simulations of the magnetic flux density and particle tracing are performed. Such models are useful for the design of PBS systems, particular with the advent of MR-integrated proton ... Read More
This model shows how to model a simple Metal–Insulator–Metal (MIM) diode. The two metal electrodes are defined on each side using the Metal Contact feature. Two studies were performed: one without quantum tunneling across the potential barrier and the other including it, using the WKB ... Read More
This model shows how to model a simple Shockley diode— a four-layer PNPN semiconductor device. The Shockley diode is also named as thyristor. In this model, the Analytic Doping Model node is utilized to define the doping profiles for each domain. A time-dependent study is employed to ... Read More
Solving very large pressure acoustics models in the frequency domain can be challenging. Several iterative solver suggestions exist for the default physics setups and the default quadratic Lagrange discretization. For very large models it can be advantageous to switch from quadratic to ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to find the optimal size and position of a water pipe in an air chamber, so that the energy absorption in the water is maximized. The objective is implemented as a constraint, so that the optimization terminates, when the desired performance is achieved. Read More
