Tubular Reactor Surrogate Model Application with Efficient Geometry Sampling

This tubular reactor application, together with its associated embedded model, demonstrates how the computational speed can be increased with the use of a surrogate model, as opposed to a fully-fledged finite element model. A surrogate model is a simpler, usually computationally cheaper ... Read More

Exporting and Importing a Topology-Optimized Hook

The model studies optimal material distribution in a hook, which is symmetric about the z plane and consists of a linear elastic material, structural steel. It is subjected to two distributed edge load cases: One at the tip of the hook and one along its lower inner curve. The geometry is ... Read More

Random Vibration Analysis of a Deep Beam

In this verification example, forced random vibrations of a simply-supported deep beam are studied. The beam is loaded by a distributed force with a uniform power spectral density (PSD). The output PSD is computed for the displacement and bending stress response. The computed values are ... Read More

Waveguide with Multiple Modes

This model demonstrates two ways of modeling waveguides that support multiple modes. A PML can be used to absorb any modes, or Ports can be explicitly added for each possible mode. Learn more in this accompanying blog post: Modeling Waveguides that Support Multiple Modes Read More

Fundamental Eigenfrequency of a Rotating Blade

The eigenfrequencies of a rotating blade are studied in this benchmark. It shows how stress stiffening and the combined effect from stress stiffening and spin softening affects the fundamental eigenfrequency. High rotational speed in rotating machineries can result in centrifugal forces ... Read More

Triaxial Test

The triaxial test is one of the most common tests used in laboratory soil testing. The soil sample is normally placed inside a rubber membrane and then compressed maintaining a radial pressure. In this model, a vertical displacement and a confinement pressure are applied on the sample ... Read More

Polarized Circular Ports

This model of a circular waveguide demonstrates how to use ports with numerical solution of the port modes. It illustrates how to align the polarization of degenerate port modes and in particular how to model and excite the TE11 mode of circular waveguides in 3D. Read More

Modeling Deforming Meshes

This presentation and series of models show how to use the Deformed Mesh interfaces to model small and large translations and rotations of objects. A more detailed description of these models can be seen in the blog post Model Translational Motion with the Deformed Mesh Interfaces and ... Read More

Waveguide S-Bend

This model demonstrates how to simulate the propagation of guided waves in a dielectric S-bent optical waveguide. The model demonstrates that the phase approximation, required by the Electromagnetic Waves, Beam Envelopes interface, can be numerically calculated by solving an additional ... Read More
