Saving Time and Money for Rockwell Automation

Problem: As Rockwell Automation looked to improve product functionality, engineers relied on developing physical prototypes to test heat sink designs for its powerful microprocessor chips. This approach left mechanical engineers scrambling at the end of the design cycle to find an electronics cooling solution that would fit the prototypes and not delay new product releases. […]

COMSOL Workshops

COMSOL Workshops Over the years, our association with COMSOL has grown from one of novice user to avid user to COMSOL Certified Consultant to experts who provide Training Classes to help new and existing users maximize their use of COMSOL Multiphysics. Last fall, we had several conversations with COMSOL about a possible new association. As a result,

MEMS Energy Harvester for Reusing Waste Heat

During our recent webinar with COMSOL on thermal-structure interaction modeling, we at AltaSim Technologies demonstrated modeling of a MEMS energy harvester that scavenges waste heat. Examples of sources for waste heat range from microprocessor chips, to internal combustion engines, to chemical processing plants. If the waste heat generated from these cases could be used to

Mesh Refinement for Wave Problems

Wave propagation problems require sufficient mesh refinement to ensure twelve degrees of freedom per wavelength. This requirement develops from the error associated with approximating a sine wave with a polynomial. AltaSim Technologies shares this type of information regularly with users of the COMSOL Multiphysics software through our Tips and Tricks.  If you are interested in
