This example uses the thermal expansion of a laminated composite shell model to demonstrate the use of the feature Thermal Contact, Interface, applied on interfaces between layers in a laminated composite shell. The first study is computed neglecting this additional thermal resistance in ... Read More
This model analyzes Joule heating and thermal expansion in a bond wire in an LED. Its purpose is to estimate the temperature increase and the resulting mechanical stresses in the bond wire due to thermal expansion. The magnitude of these stresses can be used to assess the risk of fatigue ... Read More
These models illustrate some important topics when modeling buckling imperfection. The Euler 2 Buckling Imperfection model shows a simple case with a cantilever beam buckling under compression. Three different buckling modes are combined as initial imperfections. The other model, ... Read More
Shape optimization with respect to fatigue properties is not supported, but fatigue properties are well correlated with the maximum stress. The model demonstrates how optimization with respect to a p-norm of the von Mises stress can be used to improve fatigue properties without ... Read More
In this example, the natural frequencies of a double hat beam are studied. The beam is made of two thin steel plates, joined together by spot welds along the flanges. The Spot Welds feature sets up multiple mesh-independent connections between the shells. Read More
Crimping is the plastic deformation process used to form an electrical joint between a stranded conductor and a terminal. The process involves complex multi-surface contact, including self-contact, as the terminal sleeve is plastically deformed around the wire strands. This example ... Read More
This small tutorial model studies energy conservation in a small conceptual test setup. The model has an inlet and outlet (modeled using ports) and a Helmholtz resonator with a very narrow neck. The acoustics in the narrow neck are modeled with Thermoviscous Acoustic for a detailed ... Read More
This simple tutorial model shows how to set up a parametric sweep over a number of frequency bands (octaves or 1/3 octaves) and remesh once per band. A frequency sweep is performed within each band, which now has an adequate mesh resolution. This approach saves some computational effort ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to model ultrasound imaging in human tissue using an imaging probe composed of piezoelectric arrays that generate steered and focused beams. Simulating this process requires a transient multiphysics model to accurately capture sound generation, propagation, ... Read More
This model uses the Ray Acoustics interface to extract statistical information about a room. Two examples of rooms are analyzed: The staircase from the One-Family House Acoustics tutorial model A long corridor The models compute the mean free path as well as the reflection frequency ... Read More
