Implicit Simulations
Enabling reliable, high-fidelity engineering analysis
Implicit Simulations
Simulating Complexity
Implicit simulations are well suited for problems in which the mechanical response evolves slowly or involves equilibrium-dominated processes. They can efficiently handle complex nonlinear system by solving the governing equations iteratively at each load step. Implicit simulations are frequently used in our analyses, as they reliably capture loading conditions we encounter most often: temperature gradients, mechanical forces, electromagnetic forces, displacements, accelerations, and beam loads.
COMPANIES WE WORK WITH
NON-CONVENTIONAL LOADS
From pressure loads to thermal gradients
Pressure Loads: FRESCA 2
FRESCA 2 is a double-nested cryostat for magnetic measurements, subject to loads such as internal pressure, weight thermal gradient and electro-magnetic forces. It must be carefully assessed to guarantee safety and compliance with international regulations.
Thermal Simulations: CMS CO2 lines
In CERN’s experimental areas, CO₂ is used for detector cooling. However, its very low temperature can cause the outer surface of the pipe to become too cold, generating condensation and ice. Thanks to advanced thermal simulations, an innovative insulation method was developed for the CO₂ lines.
Vibrational Simulations: FCC-ee half-cell
Vibrations in accelerators can be produced by many systems (cooling fluids, vacuum pumps, power sources, etc.), as well as by the ground motion itself. Random vibration simulations, modal and harmonic analyses are combined with experimental tests to optimize the supporting of the critical elements (magnets, cavities) maximizing their stiffness and damping, while minimizing the costs.
