上个月，Comsol宣布发布其Comsol Multiphysics软件的5.0版，其中包括应用程序构建器。该应用程序构建器允许COMSOL软件用户构建直观的界面来运行任何COMSOL模型，该界面已受到工程社区的好评，并且用户已经在构建应用程序并探索与同事和全球客户共享其模型的好处。
应用程序构建器扩展了模拟的访问
这样的公司是阿肯色电力电子INTL。（APEI），高功率密度和高性能电力电子产品的制造商。APEI发现，应用程序构建器可以在整个组织中提供巨大的好处。
APEI的高级职员工程师Brice McPherson说：“我正在建立申请，以帮助我们加快设计过程。”“我们的工程师经常花时间为销售或制造部门进行分析，以根据各种条件和要求找到模型结果。应用程序构建器对于在这方面加速我们的工作非常重要；工程团队以外的任何同事现在都可以自信地自己进行这些研究，而没有学习曲线。”
APEI构建的第一个应用程序旨在融合电流和电线键的载度 - 用于将半导体设备与包装相互连接的电线非常小。McPherson说：“为功率半导体设计新的电线粘结方案通常需要模拟专家，他们需要花费时间来设置模型并在各种条件下分析温度升高。”“我们决定使用这种共同的设计请求，首先查看申请构建器，并帮助我们的同事从事制造业。”
“The Application Builder let us build a powerful, yet easy-to-use application,” says McPherson. “When dealing with power, we have to be mindful of how much current we can safely transfer through the wires. This is heavily dependent on the geometry of the wire and the loop. One function of the app we created uses a parametric sweep to show how the number of wires affects the peak wire temperature at a set current. Previously, we had to look these values up using tables that we generated from many sweeps in COMSOL Multiphysics,” McPherson continues. “Now we can have a clean, simple application to get that data without requiring an engineer, and the results are more accurate than what we would have achieved using the tables, since the information provided in the app is generated on a case-by-case basis.”
The team at APEI envision using the Application Builder for countless other projects in the months to come, including applications to automate and streamline the calculation of wire bond inductance, package thermal performance, inductor and transformer design, and layout analysis, just to name a few. “The Application Builder surpassed my expectations,” McPherson concludes. “It’s very easy to use – our first application was running smoothly in minutes. The Form Editor is powerful and accessible, as it uses the same structure, format, and interaction as the COMSOL environment. If you can build a COMSOL model, it takes little effort to build an application, and the benefits will be felt by many APEI employees.”
