Continuum Blue developed a numerical model using COMSOL Multiphysics software that would predict a chair’s response to a standard loading test. The simulation included the chair geometry, floor, blocks to hold the legs in place, and loading plates for the back and base to mimic the physical test.
Ultimately, the question the simulation needed to answer for many different designs was will this chair fail under the required load?
