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, […]
Training & Teaching Helps Us Grow One of the Core Values we keep coming back to is #6 – “Courage of our Convictions.” Taking into consideration our other Core Values, we understand it is a fine line we walk when we communicate confidence in our authority to operate our business and act boldly to

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

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

As part of our efforts to assist COMSOL users in performing high-quality analysis, we recently used our bi-monthly email to provide a COMSOL Tips and Tricks update. In this tip, we remind users to include twelve degrees of freedom per wavelength when meshing wave problems. The following video demonstrates why twelve degrees of freedom per

This presentation provides an overview of quenching analyses as a specific example of conjugate heat transfer analysis. The presentation was given as part of a webinar on heat transfer analysis using COMSOL Multiphysics. Work conducted on analyzing air and oil quenching appears in this presentation. These quenching analyses include heat transfer mechanisms of conduction, convection,

Heat Transfer … … using COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate quenching of hot metal into an oil bath. This video shows how to set up partial differential equations as boundary conditions to describe the film boiling process. PDE boundary conditions within COMSOL Multiphysics provide significant flexibility for the user to develop complex models without writing separate

We held another Solving COMSOL Multiphysics class last week. Nine participants pursuing engineering excellence worked through the four-day course, and left Friday equipped to apply and interact with all the key features of COMSOL Multiphysics® Software. They learned how to use the software to build geometry, apply their physics, develop approximate meshes, use solvers and
