Faster steady-state results in MEMS simulations with harmonic balance

Learn how to reduce manual setup with harmonic balance enabling quicker, more precise results without transient analysis
   March 26, 2024 (Available on-demand)
   Dr. Alexandre Halbach & Dr. Abhishek Deshmukh
Join our webinar to learn how our unique harmonic balance feature streamlines MEMS simulations enabling quicker, more precise results without transient analysis.

The session, led by our Co-founder and CTO, Dr. Alexandre Halbach, and Application Engineering Team Lead, Dr. Abhishek Deshmukh, will cover how harmonic balance facilitates quicker achievement of steady-state results and simplifies the simulation setup process.

In MEMS simulations, achieving accurate steady-state analysis often requires extensive transient simulations. 

These processes demand modeling the system's behavior over time until variables stabilize, a procedure that is both time-intensive and computationally demanding. 

Such requirements can substantially prolong simulation times, strain computational resources, and slow down the overall progress of MEMS projects, presenting a notable challenge in the efficient development and analysis of MEMS devices.

Harmonic balance presents an efficient alternative, allowing for immediate steady-state results reducing both the time for the results and effort with the setup.

This webinar will explain the theory behind the harmonic balance technique, demonstrating its role in simplifying the simulation workflow and minimizing manual input.

Participants will gain insights into:

  • The fundamentals of harmonic balance and its application in MEMS simulations
  • How harmonic balance compares with traditional transient analysis, highlighting the time and resource benefits
  • Practical demonstrations of harmonic balance in action through three real-world case studies: an electro-thermal heating simulation, a multiharmonic simulation integrating Navier-Stokes with Linear Elasticity (Fluid-Structure Interaction), and a backbone curve of a clamped membrane
  • The seamless integration of harmonic balance in our cloud-based FEM multiphysics simulation software Quanscient Allsolve and how it leverages cloud computing to efficiently handle memory-intensive tasks

All registrants will receive a timestamped recording and an executive summary PDF following the event, guaranteeing access to key information regardless of attendance on the day.

Register now to stay up-to-date with the latest simulation technology advancements and see first-hand how Quanscient Allsolve is setting new standards in MEMS simulation efficiency and accuracy.
