Solving TEAM Problem 7 with the AC/DC Module
Have you been searching for a software that can solve TEAM Problem 7? Look no more: You can solve the problem with the AC/DC Module and COMSOL Multiphysics®.

The Electromechanical Response of a Brake Design
A guest blogger from Continuum Blue demonstrates what the consultancy can do for clients in the electromechanical brake field by modeling the electromechanical response of a brake design.

Intro Model: Studying the Signal Strength of RF Coils
Electronics designers need to ensure that RF coils contained within their devices can properly transmit information from a source to its destination. Electromagnetics simulation can help.

Modeling Superconductivity in a YBCO Wire
Many superconducting wires are made of yttrium barium copper oxide, aka YBCO, a compound that displays superconductivity at relatively high temperatures compared to other superconductors.

Optimizing Mach-Zehnder Modulator Designs with COMSOL Software
3 design requirements for a Mach–Zehnder modulator: It must produce low loss, give a 50/50 split of power through the 2 output arms, and be used as a spatial switch. See how simulation can help.

Computing the Impedance of a Corrugated Waveguide
Did you know that you can compute the effective impedance for waveguides with nonuniform cross sections (such as corrugated waveguides) in COMSOL Multiphysics®? We demonstrate how here >>

Calculate the Force of a One-Sided Magnet
Magnets: How do they work? You can calculate the force of a one-sided magnet using COMSOL Multiphysics® and the add-on AC/DC Module.

Modeling a Branch Line Coupler
A branch line coupler is made up of 2 sets of coupled ports with a phase difference of 90° between them. Power enters through 1 input port and is then divided equally between 2 output ports.
