Modeling a Surface Micromachined Accelerometer
There are plenty of MEMS manufacturing techniques, but surface micromachining is preferred because it can merge electronic components and freely moving mechanical parts onto one substrate.
Fillet Away Your Electromagnetic Field Singularities
Did you know that you can use fillets and chamfers in your electromagnetics models to avoid electromagnetic field singularities? Learn how in this tutorial blog post.
Modeling Beam Neutralization with a Charge Exchange Cell
A charge exchange cell refers to an area of high-density gas that is placed in the path of an ion beam. You can model a charge exchange cell to analyze its neutralization efficiency.
An Analysis of Caustic Surface Generation at the Vdara® Hotel
The Vdara® hotel on the Las Vegas strip has a unique crescent-shaped design that unfortunately contributed to the development of a caustic surface on the hotel’s pool deck.
Automatic Meshing for Electromagnetic Simulations
Ever struggle to mesh the infinite elements or perfectly matched layers in your electromagnetics simulations? Automatic meshing can help >>
Modeling Ray Propagation in a Newtonian Telescope System
Ray optics trivia: The Newtonian telescope, recognized as the earliest operating reflecting telescope, was developed in 1668. Today, simulation can be used to trace rays through this device.
Investigating LED Efficiency via Multiphysics Simulation
Ever wonder how efficient LED lighting is, compared to traditional florescent lighting? In this blog post, we demonstrate how to analyze LED efficiency with multiphysics modeling.
New Accumulators Boost Particle and Ray Tracing Functionality
Accumulators, a series of features available in the Particle Tracing Module, can be used to couple the results of a particle tracing simulation to other physics interfaces.
