Many engineering structures consist of thin and slender components, where a full solid model will result in extremely many small elements. For such structures, it is much more efficient to use shell or beam elements. In this tutorial and verification model, it is shown how to connect ... Read More
This example shows how to model a load which varies in space and time. A series of load pulses travel along a beam which is supported at equal distances. For some combinations of the traveling speed of the load pulses and the spacing between them, it is possible to excite resonances in ... Read More
Failure of reinforced concrete structures involves advanced material behavior and interaction between materials. This example demonstrates how to model various stages of the failure of a reinforced concrete beam. The material model includes a coupled damage-plasticity model for the ... Read More
This example shows how to model a loudspeaker driver of the dynamic cone type, common for low and medium frequencies. The analysis is carried out in the frequency domain and thus represents the linear behavior of the driver. The model analysis includes the total electric impedance and ... Read More
Composite materials are often used in structural applications, where the ability to tailor properties such as stiffness and strength make them attractive compared to traditional engineering materials. In addition to structural applications, composites are also used in applications where ... Read More
Seawater intrusion is a critical issue in coastal regions, where it endangers both freshwater supplies and the overall quality of groundwater. This example showcases seawater intrusion in a coastal aquifer where a pumping well is located at some distance from the shoreline. The model ... Read More
It is possible to generate harmonics that are multiples of the frequency of laser light by using nonlinear optical materials. This model demonstrates second harmonic generation using transient wave simulation and nonlinear material properties. A YAG (lambda=1.06 micron) laser beam is ... Read More
This model utilizes a continuation solver to efficiently compute the current–voltage characteristics of a corona discharge generated by a wire-to-wire configuration. It provides a flexible framework that can be easily adapted to study other discharge configurations and types. Read More
In this model, two concave mirrors are placed at a distance and a ray is released from a point inside the cavity. Then the ray is traced for a predefined time period that is sufficiently long. Ray tracing continues until the predefined computation time has passed if the laser cavity is ... Read More
Laser systems are an important application area in modern electronics. With nonlinear materials it is possible to generate harmonics that are a multiple of the frequency of the laser light. This model shows how a second harmonic generation can be set up as a transient wave simulation, ... Read More
