The EPFLoop team competed at the 2019 SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition with a Hyperloop pod that was half the weight and twice the speed of their 2018 design with the help of composite materials modeling. Read More
Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Institute for Energy and Climate Research, and Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics used multiphysics modeling to optimize the chemical vapor deposition process for a tungsten material used in a fusion reactor divertor. Read More
Using structural modeling and optimization, Raychem RPG designed an autotensioning device and modular cantilever for catenary and contact lines used in overhead equipment (OHE) devices. The devices will be used to help revitalize the Indian railway network. Read More
Engineers at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) can predict the performance of laser powder bed fusion, an additive manufacturing process for an injector used in hybrid rocket engines, by building and distributing a simulation app. Read More
Tectonic Audio Labs used electromagnetics, mechanical, and acoustics simulation to develop a state-of-the-art balanced mode radiator (BMR) speaker for use in a virtual reality (VR) headset for Valve Corporation. Read More
Researchers at the Flemish Institute for Technical Research (VITO/EnergyVille) and KU Leuven developed a model of a semisolid flow battery (SSFB) to predict how flow rate affects particle discharge and how cell voltage changes during the discharge process. Read More
Researchers at Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) are optimizing circularly polarized antenna designs for recording live sporting events, like the prestigious cycling event Giro d'Italia in Italy, with minimal service interruptions. To do so, they turn to multiphysics simulation. Read More
To design reverberation systems for measuring the performance of wireless devices and wideband antennas, engineers at Bluetest, a pioneer in wireless test solutions, use RF simulation. Simulation streamlined the team's development cycle of design, fabrication, testing, and validation. Read More
Aluminum is extracted through the Hall–Héroult process, during which it is removed from bauxite using green anodes. A PhD student at Delft University of Technology, in collaboration with Aluchemie, is studying the design of the anode baking process using numerical simulation. Read More
Veryst Engineering, AltaSim Technologies, and GLL Bio-Med Analytics build applications in COMSOL Multiphysics® and distribute them using COMSOL Server™ and COMSOL Compiler™ to help make their customers' design workflows more efficient. Read More
