Visualizing Fluid Flow with Streamline Plots
As part of our blog series on postprocessing, we demonstrate the use of streamlines to visually describe fluid flow in your simulations. Learn how with an example of flow through a pipe elbow.

How to Obtain Fatigue Model Parameters
2 challenges when modeling fatigue: 1.) selecting a suitable fatigue model for your application and 2.) obtaining the material data for the selected model.

Ray Tracing in Monochromators and Spectrometers
Spectrometers are optical devices that measure some property of radiation as a function of its frequency, while monochromators transmit radiation of a specific frequency.

Maximum Evaluations on Parallel Sections
Postprocessing trick: You can evaluate and plot the maximum, minimum, average, or integration value of any variable at various parallel sections along the axial coordinate of your model.

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.
