Optimize NACA Airfoil Designs with a Simulation App
You can design a simulation app to accurately compute lift and drag forces and optimize any airfoil following the NACA naming convention. Learn more and see an example demo app.
Analyze Thin Structures Using Up and Down Operators
Modeling complex geometries with thin structures can be very costly in terms of computational effort. Up and down operators are a way to efficiently and accurately compute these models.
Model Magnetic Materials in the Frequency Domain with an App
Easily convert B-H or H-B curves into effective B-H or H-B curves using the Effective Nonlinear Magnetic Curves Calculator simulation app.
Using the Application Builder to Create a Koch Snowflake
The Koch snowflake is a well-known fractal, notable due to its simple, iterative construction process. Learn how to easily build this shape with the Application Builder in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
App: Ensuring the Efficiency of an Absorptive Muffler Design
We discuss a simulation app that lets engineers easily modify the dimensions of an absorptive muffler design, its ambient working conditions, and the material properties of the porous liner.
Designing New Structures with Shape Optimization
Get a comprehensive background on using shape optimization to design new structures, with the example of a classical beam thickness problem.
Changing the Dimensions of a Model Using Shape Optimization
If your model has a single objective function to be improved, a set of geometric parameters to be changed, and a set of constraints, you can find the optimal structure without any remeshing.
TNO Advances Virtual Material Design in 3D Printing
Researchers at the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) are investigating how 3D printing can be applied to material design. Get the full story.
