An automotive midwoofer is modeled using the lumped parameter approach. The electrical and mechanical components are modeled using a lumped electric circuit, which is coupled to a finite element model for the acoustics using the Lumped Speaker Boundary feature. The large signal ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates a full electro-vibroacoustic analysis of a conceptual electrostatic speaker driver, composed of thin conducting plastic diaphragm residing between two perforated metal sheets called grids or stators. When an audio signal is applied to the grids (out of phase), ... Read More
This example shows how to model tissue ablation through applying RF radiation. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Study Radiofrequency Tissue Ablation Using Simulation". Read More
In this application, a solution is pumped through a catalytic bed where a solute species reacts as it gets in contact with the solid catalyst. The purpose of this example is to maximize the total reaction rate for a given total pressure difference across the bed, by finding the optimal ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates the use of the Heat and Moisture Flow predefined interface for the modeling of heat transfer and moisture transport in a turbulent air flow, with the quantification of evaporation and condensation on surfaces, and the automatic handling of the associated latent ...

In acoustofluidics, acoustics is used to manipulate particles and fluids in microfluidic devices. This model demonstrates the phenomena of the inhomogeneous acoustic body force and how it can move a fluid with an inhomogeneous density due to a solute. The model is of a 2D cross section ...

This model shows how to model a simple Metal–Insulator–Metal (MIM) diode. The two metal electrodes are defined on each side using the Metal Contact feature. Two studies were performed: one without quantum tunneling across the potential barrier and the other including it, using the WKB ... Read More
A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a periodic structure formed from alternating dielectric layers that can be used to achieve nearly total reflection within a range of frequencies. The main advantage of DBRs over ordinary metallic mirrors is that DBRs can be engineered to have custom ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to set up a dynamic simulation that includes several contact interactions, including friction, using a single general contact pair. The dynamics is solved using explicit time stepping. Read More
