Reducing the Need for Physical Prototyping with Sensor Design Webinar

This past month, AltaSim hosted a webinar in conjunction with COMSOL and Tech Briefs, where they demonstrated how to reduce the need for physical prototyping with sensor design. Through a live demonstration of sensor simulation using Multiphysics software, they showed how Multiphysics simulation captures the physical behavior of sensors more accurately than single physics simulations. Our

How Not to Miss the Boat with Multiphysics Simulation

Multiphysics simulation is a complex, powerful computational technique that lets you explore all the real-world physical interactions that a complex product may encounter during use including fluid dynamics, electromagnetism, acoustics, and optics. When you’re designing and testing a product with a low to no error margin, Multiphysics simulation is extremely accurate. Take for example the
