Thermal Management: A growing concern The demand for compact, multi-functional, high performance electronics has led to a dramatic increase in the power density of devices. In particular, the thermal dissipation per area of chip and per volume of system enclosure has increased dramatically in the last decade. To make matters worse, system-level requirements for small […]

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of non-resectable tumors has been shown to be as effective as surgical resection. During an RFA procedure, the tumor is heated to a temperature sufficient to cause cell death; the RF current is used to heat the tissue and there is no clinically significant electrical interaction within the tissue. While the

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

One of the practices we believe in here at AltaSim Technologies is continued education. Thanks to some good people at Thomas Worthington High School in Worthington, Ohio, we had a chance to go back to school repeatedly over the last 2 years. Well, actually “school” showed up at our door when several students contacted us

In our “Breaking Traditions” entry, we mentioned the real life introduction to SpaceClaim that we received from COMSOL during the 2011 COMSOL Conference. Our solid model building has consumed less of our time and allowed us to focus on better analyses ever since. As is our commitment to our customers and the entire industry, when

Reviewing our work and looking at our other posts, it is easy to wonder if we ever talk about anything other than COMSOL or SpaceClaim or Tech Briefs or Multiphysics, etc? Our response… “What else is there?” (Just kidding.) Well actually, there is something else… People! Behind all these tools and talents and breakthrough discoveries

Many of the products that engineers design experience cyclic stresses during use that are below the material’s yield stress; unfortunately…

Did you see the ad in COMSOL NEWS? The last two years COMSOL Multiphysics® (V 4.2 & 4.3) has included a Live Link™ for SpaceClaim®. This makes perfect sense to us. We were standing at the COMSOL Conference 2011 in Boston minding our own business when Bjorn, Bernt & Phil from COMSOL came up and

Isn’t it great when your most reliable toys (oops, we mean tools) get updated? COMSOL 4.3 was released on May 17, and already we have been collecting tricks & tips that we’ve found in this new version. We couldn’t wait any longer to share with you…! The 3 main tips we believe you should

Another new year means another opportunity to talk COMSOL Tips & Tricks. Last year, we held our four-day COMSOL Training Classes six times, and each class reminded us that there are some highly useful and practical tips and tricks we have picked up along the way. Here are a few more for you to consider:
