Reducing the Need for Physical Prototyping with Sensor Design Webinar

COMSOL Multiphysics, Simulation, Thought Leadership / By

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 …

MEMS Energy Harvester for Reusing Waste Heat

Thought Leadership / By

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

Thought Leadership / By

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 …
