Simulate Electrostatic Discharge on a Virtual Twin
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major risk to electronic devices. ESD occurs when a static charge accumulates, for example, on a moving vehicle or the body of the user and discharges through the device. The transient voltage can cause spurious data signals or even damage or destroy components. Managing ESD is critical to ensure that […]
General Motors Puts the Spring in Suspension with Simpack
American multinational automotive manufacturer General Motors relies on SIMULIA to model complex multibody dynamics for leaf spring suspension systems By Katie Corey Challenge Find a more efficient, accurate way to model the complex configurations and multibody dynamics of leaf spring vehicle suspension systems. Traditional approaches were intricate, challenging and resource-intensive, making it difficult to model […]

Machine Learning Accelerates Centrifugal Pump Design
In this blog post, we show how machine learning can be used in the design process of a centrifugal pump to optimize diffuser geometry. The AI model is trained on data from best-in-class simulation tools which produce reliable data that closely agrees with experimental validation results. Using a trained AI model based on simulation data, […]
Rapid Aerodynamic Development using CFD and Machine Learning
This blog illustrates how aerodynamic data obtained from the 3DS CFD PowerFLOW software combined with data-driven methods can enable car manufacturers to obtain clean 3D contour plots of the vehicle’s surface X-force distribution, the associated integrated vehicle drag force and more within several minutes on a single GPU By Dr. Faron Hesse Summary The vehicle […]
3D EM and Circuit Co-Simulation of a DC-DC Converter with Partially Saturated Magnetic Material
This blog article presents the simulation workflow considering the partially saturated magnetic material of the inductor, which is used in the switching mode power supply (boost converter). The printed circuit board (PCB) and the 3D model of the power inductor are included in this workflow. By Richard Sjiariel Background The 3D EM and circuit co-simulation […]
Structural Antenna Engineering for Tires
This highly integrated MODSIM workflow brings associativity between a parametric CAD and high fidelity multiphysics simulation for the better understanding of tires By Chris Jones Introduction For a certain category of customer, tire manufacturers are moving away from just selling a new set of tires every year. Many large-scale fleet providers are starting to embrace […]

Necking of a Titanium Dogbone
Step-by-step instructions for a titanium dogbone example using the Calibration App By Tod Dalrymple There is an older version of the Necking of a Titanium Dogbone example, and the older version does the normal thing and models the titanium with a classic Mises plasticity, linear elastic-plastic material model. That earlier example can be found here: Necking […]
