Accelerating nonlinear MEMS simulations with the harmonic balance method
See how harmonic balance is leveraged for solving nonlinear periodic problems in frequency domain for quicker, more precise results without transient analysis.
Everything you need to know about MultiphysicsAI
This episode contains everything you need to know about Quanscient MultiphysicsAI—straight from the CEO and co-founder Juha Riippi.
Introduction to the guest
Juha Riippi, CEO and co-founder, has overseen the development of Quanscient’s cloud-based, natively coupled multiphysics platform and our work applying AI and machine learning to engineering simulation. His role gives him a unique perspective on how simulation is evolving—and what teams need next.
In this episode...
In this episode, we cover the fundamental questions of Quanscient MultiphysicsAI: what is it, what does it do, who is it for, how does it differ from the other AI-driven simulation approaches out there, and how you can start using it today. Overall, this episode contains everything you need to know about the approach now and where it’s headed next.
Surrogate models trained on large volumes of Allsolve simulation data for design exploration, inverse problems, and optimization.
Shift from “design → validate a few sims” to “automate many sims → train model → search for designs that meet KPIs → validate finalists.”
High simulation throughput provides the training data; simple ML architectures can perform well when fed strong, coupled physics data.
AI is probabilistic. Use confidence metrics and then confirm shortlisted designs with deterministic simulations.
Pareto fronts for sensitivity vs. bandwidth, piezoelectric material/property characterization, electric motor shape optimization, microspeaker distortion/output balancing, MEMS devices.
Best for problems with a manageable number of inputs (≈ up to a dozen), clear KPIs, and accessible automated simulation pipelines.
GUI flow to pick data, run training, and deploy surrogates inside Allsolve; pre-trained models as starting points.
Use models within the domain of the training data; treat extrapolation carefully and verify.
Subtitles are available.
