COMSOL KEYNOTESVANTE LITTMARCKPRESIDENT AND CEO, COMSOL, INC.

Wednesday, October 4

Svante Littmarck is the President and CEO of COMSOL, Inc. He cofounded the COMSOL group in 1986. In 2004, Littmarck received an honorary doctoral degree from the Royal Institute of Technology for the development and international reach of high quality software for scientific computations through his company COMSOL.

ACCELERATING DEVELOPMENT USING COMSOL SERVER™VASUDEVAN VENKATESHWARANW. L. GORE AND ASSOCIATES

Thursday, October 5

The theory, modeling, and simulation teams at Gore develop many mathematical models and simulation tools that play a very important role in guiding new technology development. A major challenge that we face is deploying these tools for broader use across the enterprise, including our research centers in Europe and Asia. In this talk, I will discuss how we address this problem using the COMSOL Server™ product and our experience in using it over the last year. I will also discuss what advantages and limitations we have seen during our use and potential new capabilities that would enhance user experience.

DESIGNING DURABLE AUDIO TRANSDUCERSRICHARD LITTLESONOS INC.

Thursday, October 5

Audio transducers are the devices in loudspeakers that convert electrical signals into outgoing pressure waves, allowing the consumer to enjoy music. Finite element analysis is commonly used to enable design optimization for such devices to hit their performance targets. A topic less often investigated in the industry is the one of durability: how to design devices such that they can withstand the rigors of operation, handling, and their environment. This presentation outlines some design practices involved with designing transducers for durability in a predictive manner and discusses some of the ongoing challenges in such efforts.

BEYOND MODELING AND SIMULATION IN THE BIOPHARMA INDUSTRYPABLO ROLANDIAMGEN

Thursday, October 5

The Digital Integration and Predictive Technologies (DIPT) team at Amgen is tasked with transforming the way that Amgen does process development through the development, application, and deployment of mechanistic models and other digital/predictive technologies. These efforts span the life cycle of molecules and products (from prepivotal to commercial stages) across all functions within process development and beyond (including drug substances/products and devices as well as engineering and manufacturing). In order to achieve this goal, DIPT develops models based on a multiphysics paradigm and implements/deploys a subset of these models in the COMSOL® software. In this talk, we will describe a half a dozen applications involving various transport phenomena; chemical reactions; and other physicochemical processes, including chromatography separations and device sterilizations, among others. The examples will go beyond conventional simulations and parameter sweeps and demonstrate the use of mechanistic models in uncertainty/risk-based analyses. Model deployment considerations will be discussed, given Amgen’s leading vision in this front.

USING MULTIPHYSICS TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF A TOXIC LEAKSTUART BROWNVERYST ENGINEERING

Friday, October 6

A safety critical valve failed during testing, exposing workers to a toxic fluid. One potential reason for the leak was thermal damage to the interior polymer gaskets and seals within the valve resulting from the valve’s welding installation. Veryst Engineering used the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to simulate the welding process, tracking the evolving weld-induced temperature that could exceed the polymer gaskets’ safe-use temperatures. Our analysis, described in this presentation and supported by testing, provided a thorough understanding of the problem and the most plausible explanation for the release.

MODELING NUCLEAR FUEL: A STUDY IN MULTIPHYSICSANDREW PRUDILCANADIAN NUCLEAR LABS

Friday, October 6

Nuclear fuel experiences a complex environment of elevated temperatures, temperature gradients, mechanical loading, thermal expansion, swelling, densification, radiation, and continuously evolving composition and microstructure. Understanding and predicting the coupled, aggregate behavior is crucial for optimizing the design and operation of the fuel. In this talk, I will present two COMSOL Multiphysics® models developed for modeling the continuum and microstructural aspects of nuclear fuel.

GEOMETRY MODELING AND CAD IMPORT

Wednesday October 4, 9:00am CB 3Speaker: Lorant Olasz

Whether you choose to construct a geometry in the COMSOL Desktop® or to import it from a CAD file, this minicourse will demonstrate some useful tools. Did you know that COMSOL Multiphysics® can automatically generate the cross section of a solid object and that you can use it for a 2D simulation? Or that you can directly import topographic data to create 3D objects? Generating a geometry is also about preparing selections for physics settings.

HEAT TRANSFER : RADIATION AND AMBIENT CONDITIONS MODELING

Thursday October 5, 8:30am CB 4Speaker: Nicolas Huc

Radiative heat transfer is one of the three types of heat transfer and plays a major role in many applications.

COUPLED THERMAL-MECHANICAL SIMULATION FOR RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF PRODUCT DESIGN WITH COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS®

Wednesday October 4, 9:00am CB 1By: CAEaid, Inc.

To better optimize the performance and improve the reliability of products, the interaction between heat loads and solid components must be considered in the product design and manufacturing processes.

Learn how companies are adopting the latest trends in high-performance private and public cloud computing to accelerate COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation. Several customer case studies will be presented to show real-world solutions.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND REACTION KINETICS — COMBINING THERMODYNAMICS AND MULTIPHYSICS

Friday October 6, 1:30pm CB 1By: M4Dynamics

In this workshop, we will explore in depth the use of equilibrium thermodynamics on the multiphysics simulation of chemical engineering and reaction kinetics problems by using the external function library M4Dlib™ and the M4D-ChemApp™ interface for the COMSOL® software. We will see how to import thermodynamic properties and functions of multicomponent systems to establish the relation between forward and reverse rate constants in reaction kinetics problems and see how the thermodynamic properties of the components affect the result as a function of temperature. In this workshop, we will also work on solving a solidification problem in which multicomponent nonideal solutions are involved. Finally, a mechano-chemical problem involving hydrogel swelling phenomena will be solved using a thermodynamic approach, linking the thermodynamic model to the Structural Mechanics Module. All the attendants to the workshop will receive a two-week free trial

Acoustics Modeling and SimulationSponsored by Klipsch

Thursday, October 5th 2:45pm – 4:15pm

Acoustics simulations are widely used in the design of sensors and actuators, loudspeakers, noise control devices, and musical instruments, to name a few. We will discuss the state-of-the-art capabilities in acoustic simulations, and how effectively they are used in various industries. The industry panelists will share their insights from designing a wide range of products (loudspeakers, acoustic transducers, MEMS devices, and lab-on-a-chip devices). A COMSOL panelist will also provide his perspective and answer technical questions related to the use of COMSOL Multiphysics.
