Dielectric Shielding Comparison
The dielectric shielding boundary condition is meant to approximate a thin layer of material with high relative permittivity compared to its surroundings. This boundary condition is available for electrostatic field modeling. This example compares the dielectric shielding boundary ... Read More
Contact Analysis of an Elastic Snap Hook
In this example, which serves as a tutorial for contact analyses, the insertion of a snap hook in its groove is studied. A linear elastic material model is used. Read More
How to Generate Randomized Inhomogeneous Material Data
These examples demonstrate how to generate and visualize randomized material data with specified statistical properties determined by a spectral density distribution by using the tools available under the Results node. In the blog post associated with these files, "How to Generate ... Read More
Convective Flow in a Heat Exchanger Plate
This example models flow in a microchannel heat exchanger by coupling a Laminar Flow interface in 3D to a Pipe Flow interface. By the use of the Pipe Flow interface to model the flow in the microchannels the problem size is significantly reduced. This model showcases the Pipe Connection ... Read More
Radar Cross Section
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of a background field in an electromagnetic scattering problem. Although this example is a boat hit by a radar, this same technique can be used in any situation where an isolated object meets electromagnetic waves from a distant source. For ... Read More
Virtual Operations on a Wheel Rim Geometry
This tutorial shows how to perform virtual geometry operations on an imported CAD geometry. These virtual operations, such as form composite entities or ignore entities can help to improve the mesh and reduce the total element number. Read More
Stress Analysis of an Elliptic Membrane
This is a benchmark model for a plane stress problem. The accuracy of the computed stress concentration is evaluated, and a mesh convergence study is performed for different element types. Read More
Current Distribution in a Chlor-Alkali Membrane Cell
The chlor-alkali membrane process is one of the largest in industrial electrolysis with the production of roughly 40 million metric tons of both chlorine and caustic soda per year. Chlorine is used predominantly for the production of vinyl chloride monomer, which in turn is used for the ... Read More
Optimization of a Photonic Crystal for Demultiplexing
This model simulates the propagation of two frequency bands in a photonic crystal with three ports. The crystal is initially symmetric, so that the two frequency bands are directly equally to either output port. The model optimizes the position of the pillars in order to make the two ... Read More
Quenching of a Steel Billet
A steel billet is quenched in oil from its austenitic state. A 2D axisymmetric model is used to simulate the coupled problem of austenite decomposition, heat transfer, and solid mechanics. During the quenching process, the austenite decomposes into a combination of ferrite, pearlite, ... Read More
