How to Implement Elastoplasticity in a Model Using External Materials
Sometimes the mechanical behavior of a material is not readily expressed in terms of a built-in model. In these cases, you can use external materials. Learn how with an elastoplasticity example.
Keynote Video: Using Simulation to Develop Reliable Audio Transducers
An engineer from a loudspeaker company discusses using simulation to design a component that can handle fatigue, environmental conditions, and user wear and tear. Watch the presentation.
Is That a Ghost? Vibroacoustic Explanations for False Poltergeists
Creepy sounds are often misinterpreted as paranormal activity, when in fact, they can be explained with vibroacoustics, mechanical resonance, and attenuating sound.

Predicting How Long Coffee Stays Warm in a Vacuum Flask
Do you use a vacuum flask to keep your coffee or tea warm? Try simulating the natural convection cooling in one of these containers to see exactly how long your beverage will stay warm.
Analyzing Time-Domain Reflectometry for 2 Electrical Designs
Here are 2 examples of analyzing the signal integrity and time domain reflectometry in electrical devices: a high-speed interconnect and a set of parallel microstrip lines.
Simulating Extraordinary Optical Transmission at Terahertz Frequencies
One potential approach to improving medical imaging, quality assurance, and other terahertz applications is extraordinary optical transmission, a process that can be studied with RF simulation.
