Are you an engineer under the age of 35, located somewhere in the Asia-Pacific region? If the answer is yes, you are eligible to enter the All IEEE-R10 Young Engineers’ Humanitarian Challenge 2013. The contest aims to engage young engineers to solve humanitarian problems using technology and entrepreneurial leadership. Many innovative project ideas have been submitted to this engineering contest in the past, and the winners have received funding to implement them. This year it could be your project that provides the solution to a humanitarian challenge.

Each year in May we host a multiphysics simulation workshop specifically for U.S. government employees. This year’s agenda will provide attendees with an overview of COMSOL Multiphysics, tutorials, a user presentation, and more — all in a setting that allows classified work to be shared among federal employees and contractors only.

Dr. Raj Thiagarajan is a prolific producer of interesting research articles ranging from waste-water treatment to acoustics metamaterials, and lots in between. As the Managing Director at ATOA (“Atom TO Application”) Scientific Technologies, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, Raj has had to simulate all types of applications. Now he will show you how to use multiphysics simulations in multimaterial and composite product design.

About 13% of the world’s power is nuclear. During the 1990′s, this figure was almost 18%. This trend may continue to decline or undergo a renaissance, but in the meantime nuclear waste disposal remains a hot topic among engineers and governmental agencies. Safe procedures for the disposal of nuclear waste have been in place for decades, and continued improvement of these techniques remain in discussion today.

If you’re in the business of designing transducers, resonators, actuators, or sensors, odds are you deal with piezoelectric materials — a key component in these devices. As we’ve said before, multiphysics simulation should play a central role in the product design-stages to ensure top quality without wasting time or money. For those of you who design piezoelectric devices, we have an upcoming piezoelectric simulations webinar on February 28th.

Transformers are used to increase the voltage of an alternating current (AC) before moving it along the power grid via power lines. Since power lines lose energy through heating cased by electric currents, you can achieve more economical power transmission by transforming to a high voltage and low current. As a matter of fact, high voltage (HV) power transmission lines transmit portions of its power in the air surrounding it. Furthermore, as the current travels long distances through many transformer stages, small design-changes in transformers can have very large effects in overall power transmission. To show you how these design improvements can be made, we’re holding a webinar on transformer and inductor modeling together with IEEE Spectrum on February 7th.

SolidWorks always puts on a great show. I just got back from SolidWorks World where I was able to go to a number of technical sessions, and understand how CAD design can better complement finite-element analysis. We had a booth there, and it was great to meet a few COMSOL users, who like to use SolidWorks® and COMSOL Multiphysics together via LiveLink™ for SolidWorks®. I also got to meet potential customers-to-be. In typical SolidWorks World fashion, I and the other 4,500 attendees were treated to a great keynote presentation.

The overarching reason why you should attend one of our multiphysics workshops is of course that you get to see COMSOL Multiphysics in action. Thinking that sounded great, albeit a bit lofty, I asked my colleague Lauren Sansone who oversees our corporate events, to spell it out more concretely. Her three reasons why you should attend are as follows:
- You will receive a 2-week trial of COMSOL Multiphysics software
- You get to set up and build your own model
- You can ask questions to one of our engineers on-the-spot

Last week, we gave you one opportunity to meet your New Year’s resolutions for becoming more productive. While in-person Training Courses are ideal for a rich learning experience, we do realize that some of you may not be able to justify the travel and expenses associated with it just yet. If you want to get to know what modeling multiphysics with COMSOL is all about without leaving your desk, we have another option for you: live webinars. We already have many topics planned for 2013, covering several different languages and time zones — and plenty more in store.

Advancing skills and learning to get the most out of modeling work is on the mind of many of our users. With technology moving at an aggressive rate, it’s important to keep up and not fall behind. This is why many long-standing and new COMSOL users are choosing to attend multiphysics training courses. If your New Year’s resolution is to become more productive on the job, you should consider registering for our multiphysics Training Courses.
