Electroacoustic Simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics 6

The release of COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0 brings major updates to the Acoustics Module and the simulation of electroacoustic transducers. This includes a simplified workflow for setting up hybrid lumped-FEM models of loudspeakers, a user interface for the simulation of magnetomechanical forces in transducers, and much more. Several of the new features are the direct results of feedback collected from users within the audio industry.

Digital Twins for Architecting & Designing Audio Devices – Session 2

The AES Audio Product Education Institute (APEI) presents the second webinar on the practice and benefits of simulation-driven audio architecture design by use of Digital Twins. In this series of Modeling and Measurement online events, experts from COMSOL, JJR Acoustic and Facebook, discuss the role of Digital Twins and how to influence fundamental design considerations, even before the first prototype is built to proof a concept. This session will describe and detail a real virtual architectural design story.

The Use of Digital Twins
for Architecting & Designing Audio Devices

The AES Audio Product Education Institute (APEI) promotes a new webinar series on its Modeling and Measurement education pillar to explore the use of Digital Twins as a new simulation-driven audio architecture design. On the first webinar, Wednesday, September 22 (12:00pm EDT), Ulrik Skov (Facebook Reality Labs), will offer an introduction to the concept of Digital Twins, and will detail his experience in front-loading a new Cross-Functional Acoustic Alignment approach to the product development and design process. Wednesday, September 22 (12:00pm EDT).
