To clarify the coupled phenomena of electromagnetism, heat, fluid, and structure

We simulate multiphysics phenomena such as electromagnetism, heat, fluid, and structure. We conduct comprehensive research that covers aspects from mesh generation to the execution of simulations and visualization of the results. By observing invisible phenomena, we aim to contribute to the manufacturing field.

Content of research

We are developing our own simulation tools to analyze multi-physics phenomena such as heat, fluid, and structure, which cannot be analyzed by commercial simulation software, with a focus on electromagnetism. We carefully select the most suitable analysis method for each phenomenon, and conduct comprehensive research on mesh generation, speeding up, enlargement, and visualization (drawing) of the analysis results. We aim to apply these methods to everything from equipment performance evaluation to design. Furthermore, advanced design techniques are also possible by using the tools together with optimization algorithms and game theory.
