This tutorial uses an equivalent circuit approach for modeling the performance of a lithium-ion battery, requiring no knowledge about the internal chemistry or structure of the battery. A 0D equivalent circuit battery model is defined based on a resistor connected in series with a ... Read More
This model showcases the broadband optimization for the Microstructured antireflective coatings that are modeled in the model (#99011). Following are the parameters that are optimized: Rectangular microstructure: Height and width of the rectangular microstructure. Pyramidal ... Read More
In this tutorial the geometry of an occluded ear-canal simulator is optimized to match the acoustic response of a given ear. The target data in this model stems from a simulation of an ear canal, but it can also be based on measurements, or a response specified by a standard. Read More
This model demonstrates how to use a space-time formulation to optimize a heating profile over time. Get an overview in the accompanying blog post Equation-Based Modeling with a Space-Time Discretization. Read More
The App solves various 2D benchmark problems illustrating the pros and cons of the optimization solvers. Read More
Topology optimization is associated with extreme design freedom which can yield extreme performance. The designs can be easier to manufacture by using milling constraints, at some cost to the performance. This example considers the case of a torsion sphere which is known to feature a ... Read More
This model demonstrates 2D topology optimization for the problem of minimum mass subject to a compliance constraint and a stress constraint. The stress constraint is implemented with a P-norm global aggregation function. The stress input to this is interpolated differently than the Young ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to tune the lowest natural frequency of the diaphragm of a MEMS microphone using Shape Optimization. The Stationary then Eigenfrequency study modifies the shape of the suspension springs that support the diaphragm. Although the model is in 3D, shape change is ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to optimize the charging profile of a battery using gradient based optimization. The optimization solver minimizes the time required for charging the battery from 0% to 90% state of charge, while at the same time constraining the amount lithium inventory lost ... Read More
This model is based on the Metasurface Beam Deflector model. The performance is improved using shape optimization by allowing both the radii and the position of the individual pillars to change. Read More
