Wheel Rim — Topology Optimization with Milling Constraints
Topology optimization can result in novel designs due the extreme design freedom associated with the method. Conventional manufacturing techniques impose constraints on the geometry which are often violated by topology optimization. This model demonstrates how the milling constraint ... Read More
In-Plane and Space Truss
Trusses are structural members that can only sustain axial forces, but no bending or torsion. In the following example you first build and solve a simple 2D truss model using the 2D Truss interface. Later on, you analyze a 3D variant of the same problem using the 3D Truss interface. This ... Read More
Computing Projected Area
This model presents a way to compute projected area using the Surface-to-Surface Radiation interface of the Heat Transfer Module. By computing illuminated area from a set of directions on a discretized sphere, it is possible to interpolate the projected area onto any angle of incidence. ... Read More
Annular Ultraviolet Reactor, Optically Transparent Water
Fluence rate is a key parameter for ultraviolet (UV) water purifier. It describes the amount of radiation that pathogens absorb and is then directly related to the disinfection level of the purifier. The aim of this example is to demonstrate the fluence rate calculation with the ... Read More
Verifying the Friis Transmission Equation with FEM–BEM Coupling
In this model, the transmitter (microstrip patch) and receiver (Yagi–Uda) antennas are modeled simultaneously in the FEM domain and are coupled with FEM–BEM coupling. The results are compared with the analytical Friis transmission formula. In detail, the emw and emw2 interfaces find out ... Read More
Calibration Against TTT Data
This model shows how to use the Metal Processing Module and the Optimization Module to calibrate parameters of a phase transformation model against TTT (Time Temperature Transformation) data. Read More
Shape Optimization of a Tuning Fork
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
Topology Optimization of a Beam with Milling Constraints
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
Simulating a Corrugated Waveguide and Its Impedance
This example exemplifies how to model the impedance of a waveguide of varying cross sectional area. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Computing the Impedance of a Corrugated Waveguide". Read More
Schmidt–Cassegrain Telescope
The Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope demonstrated in this tutorial is a classic design using an aspheric corrector lens and two spherical mirrors. The aspheric corrector is created using the 'Aspheric Even Lens 3D' part from the Ray Optics part library. Read More
