Rotordynamics Fosters the Design of Reliable Rotating Machines
Rotating machinery is an important element in many structures. The analysis of rotating machinery, rotordynamics, can help engineers reduce noise and vibrations in many areas of technology.
How to Reuse a Deformed Shape as a Geometry Input
Let’s say you deform a shape in your model (say, by applying a mechanical load to a thin piece of metal) and want to use this deformed object as part of a new geometry construction. How?
How to Model Adhesion and Decohesion in COMSOL Multiphysics
Did you know you can simulate objects that stick together once they come in contact (adhesion) as well as those that pull apart (decohesion), including full cohesive-zone modeling?
Evaluating an Insulin Micropump Design for Treating Diabetes
Researchers from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology used simulation to develop a MEMS-based micropump that could administer insulin injections in a safe and painless way.
GTI Streamlines Gas Pipeline Maintenance Procedures with Simulation
Researchers from OTD and GTI teamed up and used simulation to investigate the standard distance requirements for streamlined and safe gas pipeline maintenance.
