Simulating MEMS Accelerometers and Gyroscopes Used in Inertial Measurement Units

March 24, 2022

Many autonomous vehicles rely on IMUs for navigation. Here, we show how the MEMS Module can help you model the gyroscopes and accelerometers used in IMUs.

Pasta alla Simulazione: Modeling an Extruder in COMSOL®

February 14, 2022

On an industrial scale, extruders mix and knead raw pasta dough. Avoid issues with looks, taste, and safety by modeling the extrusion process.

In 1840, this Hungarian physicist introduced a lens design that could gather more than 20 times as much light as lenses used in earlier cameras.

Visualizing the Emergence of Turing Patterns with Simulation

December 28, 2021

Turing patterns are often found in nature. The conditions behind the emergence of these patterns can be studied with chemical modeling.

Characterizing Piezoelectric Sensors for Nondestructive Testing

December 16, 2021

Piezoelectric sensors must be carefully designed and calibrated. Simulation can help make this process more efficient…
