Band Gap Analysis of a Photonic Crystal
This model investigates the wave propagation in a photonic crystal that consists of GaAs pillars placed equidistant from each other. The distance between the pillars determines a relationship between the wave number and the frequency of the light, which prevents light of certain wavelengths propagating inside the crystal structure. This frequency range is called the photonic bandgap. There are ...
Image Import: Homogenized Pore Scale Flow and Thermal Conduction
You can now use image data to represent 2D material distributions or to identify regions with different materials by their color or gray scale. Images used in this way can have many origins such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An important application of image import is for easy computation of equivalent volume-averaged ...
How to Use Contour Line in Geometry
This presentation gives instructions on how to export a Contour Plot (single line), re-import it as an Interpolation Curve on a Work Plane in the Geometry, extrude the Work Plane, then Convert to Solid to create two domains separated by the new surface.
Tapered Cantilever with Two Load Cases
This example shows a 2D plane stress model of a thin tapered cantilever. Different boundary and load scenarios are examined. It is demonstrated how to apply and how to evaluate different load and constraint groups. Resulting stresses are compared to NAFEMS benchmark values and they are found to be in good agreement.
Connecting Shells and Beams
Many engineering structures consist of thin and slender components, where a full solid model will result in extremely many small elements. For such structures, it is much more efficient to use shell or beam elements. In this tutorial and verification model, it is shown how to connect beam and shell elements in different situations. The results are also compared to a solid model of the same ...
Thermal lensing in high-power laser focusing systems - new
Modern high-power industrial fiber laser systems can deliver up to 3kW of single-mode laser radiation on to surfaces to be cut, drilled, welded or marked. Even using highly transmissive materials, the optical component used to focus the laser beam on to target surfaces can be affected by the large amount of power carried by the light. As the laser beam pass through the optical components, ...
Electrocoating of a Car Door
This example models electrocoating of paint onto a car door in a time-dependent simulation. The deposited paint is highly resistive which results in lowered local deposition rates for coated areas. A primary current distribution in combination with a film resistance model is used to describe the charge transport in the electrolyte. The model is in 3D and uses an imported CAD geometry.
Transverse Modes for a Symmetric Laser Cavity
This model demonstrates how a nonlinear equation system can be setup to solve for the eigenfrequencies of a symmetric laser cavity. The model uses the bidirectional formulation of the Electromagnetic Waves, Beam Envelopes physics interface. The computed eigenfrequencies are verified with values from analytical expressions.
Diffraction Grating - new
This model uses the Wave Optics Module and the Ray Optics module to model the propagation of rays through a diffraction grating at different angles of incidence. It uses the S-parameters computed by the Electromagnetic Waves, Frequency Domain interface on a unit cell of the grating to specify the reflectivity and transmissivity of each diffraction order in the Geometrical Optics interface, ...
Connecting Shells and Solids
This tutorial model shows how to model a structure using both shells and solids, and how to create the transition between the two modeling domains. Results are compared between the shell solution and the full 3D solution, and the effects of the transition are highlighted.
