This webinar will introduce you to computational modeling of soft actuators, helping you understand how input loading impacts the response of the structure. Soft actuators frequently use nonlinear material properties and geometrical effects to work, and the inherent compliance of soft actuators make them ideal candidates for haptic applications, novel medical/surgical devices, wearables, and more.
Electromagnetic heating is a critical technology for reducing emissions and energy use in manufacturing, which is the source of more than 30% of our greenhouse gas emissions. In this webinar, we will review various modes of electromagnetic heating, their underlying physics, and key methods for developing accurate multiphysics models of these technologies, and will present three helpful case studies.

A simple way of mixing small volumes (microliters or milliliters) of reagents is by repeatedly dispensing and withdrawing solution from a microwell or tube. In this case study, we used a two-phase multiphysics simulation with coupled fluid flow and mass transfer to analyze the efficacy of this active mixing process.
Axial permanent magnet couplings are electromagnetic devices that transmit torque from a primary driver to a load without mechanical contact. Veryst used a finite element analysis (FEA) model to analyze the complex coupling nature of these magnetic devices to maximize the torque transmission
Multiphysics simulation can be used to predict the performance and life cycle of battery cells across a wide variety of environmental conditions and states of charge, reducing experimental time and cost.
