Simulation Belongs Where Decisions Are Made

Imagine a world where anyone can access the power of simulation without having to be an expert in building computational models. Colleagues in the field would be empowered to make decisions informed by simulation-assisted predictions, factory workers could confidently adjust manufacturing outputs on the fly, researchers could couple experimental data with simulation directly in the lab,…

Analyzing the “Muscles” of a Robotic Manta Ray

Soft robotics is a field gaining increasing interest among engineers, particularly due to its growing use in the biomedical industry. For example, as advancements in biomimicry continue to evolve and improve over time, soft robots have shown promise for applications such as prosthetics, artificial muscles, and surgical instruments. Actuators play a critical role in this field,…

How to Define Load Cycles in Battery Models

When modeling a battery system, specifying a load profile is critical for accurately representing how the battery will operate in a real-world scenario. In the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and the Battery Design Module, several approaches are available to accommodate such profiles in your battery model. This blog post discusses these approaches and elaborates on their implementations. To demonstrate…

Modeling Absorption and Scattering of Collimated Light

When a ray of collimated light, such as from a laser, is incident upon a semitransparent medium, it can experience both absorption and scattering. This means that the incident light is both converted to thermal energy and redirected. Under certain assumptions, these phenomena can be modeled using a diffusive approximation in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. This modeling…
