Finding a Structure’s Best Design with Topology Optimization

September 23, 2015

Think about the first architects who designed a bridge above water. The design process likely included several trials and subsequent failures before they could safely allow people to cross the river. COMSOL Multiphysics and the Optimization Module would have helped make this process much simpler, if they had computers at the time, of course. Before we start to discuss building and optimizing bridges, let’s first identify the best design for a simple beam with the help of topology optimization.

7 Ways to Use the Application Builder and COMSOL Server™

Create apps for colleagues and customers, enhance your model, and set aside a simulation project for later use: Get details on these and 4 other ways you can use the Application Builder.

Nestlé Sweetens the Candy Production Process with Simulation

September 16, 2015

Question: How does a well-known candy company ensure that each of their signature chocolate bars has the same consistency, texture, and taste? Answer: Fluid flow simulation!

Evolving into a Better Design: Humans and Technology as One

September 15, 2015

Read about how the concept of constructal law applies to the joint evolution of humans and technology in this blog post about a keynote talk from the Conference of the Academia Europaea 2015.

What Is Geometric Nonlinearity?

September 14, 2015

If you perform structural mechanics analyses, then you have most likely encountered the concept of geometric nonlinearity. But what exactly does geometric nonlinearity mean?

Multistudy Structural Optimization of a Bracket

September 11, 2015

Weight reduction is a key focus in the automotive industry, where lightweight materials equal more fuel-efficient cars. Here, we perform a multistudy structural optimization of 1 component.

Simulating Viscous Heating in a Fluid Damper

September 9, 2015

Fluid dampers are able to dissipate mechanical energy into heat through a process called viscous heating. You can simulate this process to optimize your fluid damper designs.

How to Improve Your Paddle Stroke with Simulation

September 8, 2015

To take a closer look at a paddle stroke, for activities like canoeing and dragon boat racing, we set up a 2D model in COMSOL Multiphysics® and visualize the flow pattern around the paddle blade.
