Air Treatment Systems
AltaSim helped one client to develop a virtual prototype of a UV-C air treatment system design and suggested design modifications that achieved the same sterilization conditions as the FDA-approved design. Its client then developed a physical prototype of the new design and combined simulation and experimental data to gain FDA approval. Read more.

Manufacturing BNNTs
To help a client that produces boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) gain a better understanding of the mixing process involved, AltaSim developed multiphysics simulations of plasma-based products. This enabled the client to study the process of mixing boron powder and carrier gas as well as how the mix interacts with the plasma. AltaSim was able to explore the parametric space with the virtual prototype it developed. The dataset developed from the simulation provided AltaSim and its client with a deeper understanding of the manufacturing process. Read more.

Electronics Cooling and Processor Placement
AltaSim helped one of its clients develop simulations of electronics cooling in order to better evaluate locations where its processor chip could be mounted. AltaSim developed simulations that were able to assess different processor locations within four weeks and at a cost of less than $20,000. Read more.

Communications Satellites
One of AltaSim's clients produces products that are used in communications satellites. AltaSim has worked with this client to develop heat transfer and thermomechanical simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics® so it can better analyze its products. The client provided AltaSim with its simulation files, and AltaSim reviewed all aspects of the simulation. AltaSim made modifications to the simulation and added advanced features. AltaSim also parameterized the design variables, which enabled the client to quickly determine the effects that the design parameters had on product performance. Read more.

Transformers
AltaSim has experience in developing multiphysics simulations related to the heating of transformers. In one case, AltaSim worked with a client to help modify its original simulations to incorporate design changes the client had made. The client was able to use the simulation to confirm that the design change produced elevated temperatures. From there, AltaSim modified the virtual prototype to show how additional design modifications could mitigate the design's heat transfer issues. Read more.

Manufacturing Ovens
AltaSim has the expertise to develop simulations of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer in ovens. AltaSim helped one client use such simulation to calculate the exit temperature of a product. This information enabled its client to design its manufacturing process in a way that saved time and costs. Read more.
