Computing Total Normal Flux on a Planar Surface
1 way to bridge the gap between simulation and experiment? Compute the total normal flux through a cross-sectional plane passing through your simulation geometry. Here’s how >>
Improving Your Golf Swing with a Multibody Analysis
The outcome of a golf stroke is determined by the movement of the club head just prior to impact with the ball. Therefore, one theoretically could improve their golf swing via multibody analysis.
How to Model Residual Stresses Using COMSOL Multiphysics
Learn how to compute the residual stresses in your structural mechanics models. To demonstrate, we use the example of a deep metal drawing process. Read on…
How to Manually Work with Entity Numbers in Selections
You can automate the handling of the entity numbers used to set up properties for the domain and boundaries in an MPH-file. How? Using LiveLink™ for MATLAB®. Learn more >>
Understanding Stabilization Methods
When modeling transport applications driven by convection, you need a stabilization method — whether you’re working with finite elements, finite volumes, or finite differences.
Heat Transfer in Deformed Solids
Learn how to model the physics that account for thermoelastic effects in immobile solids when coupling heat transfer and solid mechanics. Follow-up to an earlier post on conjugate heat transfer.
How to Include Geometry Surfaces with Solution Plots
You’ve solved your model. Now you want to include geometry surfaces with your solution plots. But how? We demonstrate the steps with an RF antenna example.
Geothermal Energy: Using the Earth to Heat and Cool Buildings
Learn how to accurately predict the thermal performance of a shallow tubing heat collector design for geothermal heating applications. Part 3 of our blog series on geothermal energy.
