Acoustic Levitation Puts a Pure Spin on Medicine Fabrication

July 16, 2014

Engineers from Argonne National Laboratory used multiphysics simulation and trial-and-error prototyping to optimize the effectiveness of an acoustic levitator for medical fabrication.

Exploiting Symmetry to Simplify Magnetic Field Modeling

July 14, 2014

Get an introduction to the types of symmetry boundary conditions that you can exploit in your EM models.

Modeling an RF Anechoic Chamber Using Periodic Structures

July 9, 2014

Anechoic chambers can be either acoustic or electromagnetic. These noise-canceling rooms are designed to absorb sound or electromagnetic waves. Simulation can be used to design these devices.

New Book on Topology Optimization for Electromagnetics

July 7, 2014

Whether you’re a student or an industry engineer, read Multiphysics Simulation: Electromechanical System Applications and Optimization, a reference guide on simulation and topology optimization.

Modeling Convective Cooling of Electrical Devices

June 23, 2014

We developed a model that includes all of the important details of thermal management in a high-power electrical device. To do so, we needed to use high performance computing with hybrid modeling.

Powering Particle Physics Research at Fermilab

June 19, 2014

Researchers at Fermilab had an important question: Would upgrading the booster RF cavities in their particle accelerator cause them to overheat? To find answers, they turned to simulation…

Computing Voltages Produced by Electromagnetic Induction

June 17, 2014

Have you ever used a “shaker flashlight”? It’s powered by voltage from the electromagnetic induction that occurs when a powerful permanent magnet inside the device oscillates due to the shaking.
