In this month’s tips and tricks video, I share a tip and trick that is helpful in post-processing when you are working with multiple plots, especially if you have a parametric sweep. Click below to watch me walk you through the process. We have included the video transcription below to help you follow along. There’s […]

My previous blog focused on a challenging fluid dynamics problem, an area in which I have experience. However, since joining the AltaSim team, I have been learning about many other topics in physics and engineering, including acoustics. After some studying and attending our Acoustic Solutions course, I felt ready to tackle an acoustic problem, break

Finite element analysis (FEA) and finite element method (FEM) are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they have different meanings and applications. FEM is a “mathematical method” for solving problems of engineering and mathematical physics that involve complex geometries, loads, boundary conditions, and material properties. FEA is the “practical application” of FEM to simulate
Differences Between Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Finite Element Method (FEM) Read More »
Computational simulation is a powerful tool for solving complex engineering problems that involve the finite element method (FEM). FEM is a numerical technique that divides a domain into smaller elements and approximates the governing equations at each element. By using computational simulation, engineers can perform FEM analysis faster, more accurately, and more efficiently than using
Benefits of the Finite Element Method Read More »
Finite element analysis (FEA) is a method of solving complex engineering problems involving structures, fluids, heat transfer, and other physical phenomena. FEA divides the problem domain into smaller and simpler parts called finite elements, and then applies mathematical equations to describe the behavior of each element and the interactions among them. FEA can find approximate

I love a good challenge, and as the newest member of AltaSim’s team, I am fortunate to have excellent mentors here who constantly challenge me to expand my knowledge. I have been teaching myself how to use COMSOL, and one of my most recent challenges from the team was to solve a turbulent flow problem,
