Solving very large pressure acoustics models in the frequency domain can be challenging. Several iterative solver suggestions exist for the default physics setups and the default quadratic Lagrange discretization. For very large models it can be advantageous to switch from quadratic to ... Read More
PCB is fabricated by laminating multiple materials, such as FR-4, copper, and resin, which exhibit significantly different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE). When subjected to heating, the differential thermal expansion among these layers induces interlaminar deformation mismatch, ... Read More
This model analyzes the uncertainty in focused ultrasound induced tissue heating. The material properties for the tissue mimicking material, including the uncertainty, are taken from the FDA Medical Device Development Tool: Tissue Mimicking Material (TMM) for Preclinical Acoustic ... Read More
This model showcases a nail penetration experiment into a layered battery. It couples the Solid Mechanics, Lithium-Ion Battery, and Heat Transfer interfaces. A nail is punched into a sandwiched battery consisting of two electrodes and a separator. As soon as the nail connects both ... Read More
In this model, the stress concentrations around a superelliptic hole in a thin plate are investigated. To learn more about this model, see our accompanying blog post “Stress Concentrations Around a Superellipse”. Read More
This example shows how to model isotropic volumetric growth and atrophy of soft biological tissues. The artery is represented by a cylinder that is stretched and compressed due to an applied axial load. As a result, the tissue undergoes growth and atrophy. Read More
This parametrized model can be used to simulate the hopping hoop problem. A rolling ring with a point mass on the perimeter can, under certain conditions, jump up from the surface on which it is rolling. A more detailed description of this model can be found in the blog post "The ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to model a variable-angle tow (VAT) laminate in which the fiber orientation varies linearly along the global x-direction, with each layer assigned its own fiber angle. The results obtained using the Layered Shell interface are compared with a full 3D ... Read More
This example demonstrates the optimization of fiber orientation in a variable angle tow (VAT) laminate to maximize stiffness under prescribed loading and boundary conditions. The composite laminate consists of a single layer of carbon–PEEK composite with transversely isotropic material ... Read More
