Analyze Your Centrifugal Governor Design with an App

May 4, 2016

Apps can be used to test a wide spectrum of parameters and physical studies to optimize the performance of the device. We demonstrate with the Centrifugal Governor Simulator demo app.

Hear the Sound of an Organ Pipe Design with a Simulation App

April 20, 2016

Did you know that apps can generate audio results, not just visual data? The Organ Pipe Designer investigates the parameters behind an organ pipe configuration, then plays the resulting sounds!

Analyzing a Component of the ITER Tokamak with Simulation

April 12, 2016

Researchers investigated whether the tritium breeding modules (TBMs) in the ITER tokamak produce magnetic perturbation that could generate unacceptable plasma losses. Get details here.

Design Safe Wearable Technology with Heat Transfer Modeling

February 1, 2016

Wearable technology is more than just fitness-tracking bracelets and smartwatches. It is important to consider heat transfer when designing wearables that are safe for consumer use.

Explaining the Pepper’s Ghost Illusion with Ray Optics

January 11, 2016

Pepper’s Ghost, the famous optical illusion used in theater and “hologram” concert performances, can be explained using ray optics. Learn more and see our homemade Pepper’s Ghost projector.

Analyze Solar Food Dryer Designs with Heat Transfer Modeling

January 6, 2016

You can use heat transfer simulation to analyze solar food dryer designs and identify optimal building materials, including phase-change materials, which conserve the solar heat.

Simulation Improves Electromagnetic IED Detection Systems

November 26, 2015

To better understand the ground-penetrating radar technique and improve its accuracy for detecting landmines and other IEDs, researchers studied electromagnetic detection for subsurface objects.

AltaSim Designs and Deploys Apps to Spread Simulation Power

November 23, 2015

At the COMSOL Conference 2015 Boston, Jeff Crompton from AltaSim Technologies spoke about building, sharing, and deploying simulation apps — and what this means for the future of simulation.
