AltaSim – White Paper Library Landing Page
The AltaSim white paper library

Twenty years of multiphysics, written down.

Fourteen papers from the engineers who ran the models – data center infrastructure, battery geometry, medical device development, fatigue and fracture, acoustics, fluid-structure interaction and manufacturing process simulation.

DATA CENTERS

Simulation-Driven Engineering for Modern Data Centers

“Systems meeting tabulated ampacity limits exceed temperature rise limits once enclosure effects and airflow restrictions are considered.”

On why handbook conductor sizing stops being defensible in a ceiling plenum

BATTERIES
New

Why Geometry Matters in Battery Simulation

“Aggressive operation does not simply amplify behavior; it changes it.”

On what happens to two identical-chemistry cells as charge rate climbs

MEDTECH
New

Simulation-Driven Medical Device Development

“Medical devices rarely fail because one physical domain was misunderstood in isolation. Problems emerge at the interfaces between domains.”

On where device programs actually run into trouble

Two decades of published work

AltaSim has been publishing simulation white papers since the company was founded in 2002. They range from medical device fatigue and prosthetic heart valve failure analysis to ceramic matrix composite manufacturing, geophysical wave propagation and a plain-language guide for decision makers who have to act on FEA results without being FEA specialists.

“Trust But Verify”: Questions Decision Makers Should Ask About Computer SimulationsFor decision makers
Who reads these

Engineers who have to defend a decision

Design and R&D engineers

Working out which physics actually needs to be in the model, and which simplification is about to cost you a redesign cycle.

Engineering managers

Deciding where simulation earns its place in the schedule, and how to tell a converged solution from a credible one.

Technical decision makers

Approving, shelving or sending back a design based on analysis you did not run yourself – and needing the right questions to ask.

AltaSim has been running coupled multiphysics analyses since 2002 – for medical device designers, electronics and EV teams, materials processors and engineering firms who need an answer before the hardware exists.
