This is an example of optimal control, where the input heating power to a rod is optimized to give a certain temperature on the outside of the rod. This is where the maximum water temperature occurs, while the minimum occurs at the center. Therefore this problem corresponds to the ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to use the Polynomial Shell feature to increase the lowest Eigenfrequency of a shell by deforming its shape. Read More
Topology optimization for low volume fractions in 3D follows the same methodology as in 2D for medium volume fractions. The only difference is the need for iterative solvers. This model demonstrates topology optimization of a drone for a volume fraction of 12.5 %, while considering two ... Read More
The model shows how to estimate the Young's modulus and Poisson ratio based on a tensile test. The test measures the tensile force and the radial displacement for different values of the prescribed displacement. The model is based on synthetic data generated in the model itself. It is ... Read More
Buckling is a common failure mode for slender structural components. This model shows how the buckling load of a diagonal brace can be maximized, while constraining the volume of the brace. Read More
This model demonstrates how to design a beam without low Eigenfrequencies by combining the Density Model feature in the Topology Optimization interface with the Stationary Then Eigenfrequency study step. Read More
The mass of an aluminum beam is minimized subject to a displacement constraint and a distributed load. The problem is solved using topology optimization with milling constraints. Read More
A diplexer is a device that combines or splits signals into two different frequency bands, widely used in mobile communication systems. This example simulates splitting properties using a simplified 2D geometry. The geometry is optimized using shape optimization in order to get the ... Read More
Extending the Tuning Fork model, this example shows how to set up an Optimization Study to determine the prong length at which the fork vibrates at the standard concert pitch, 440 Hz. Read More
This model illustrates how to improve the symmetry of a wet chemical etching process by varying the convection and chemical concentration as a function time. Read More
