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?
Fusion inches closer as ITER completes magnet system
I believe the purpose of ITER isn't to make usable power, it is a research project which will be used to design the first generation of actual...
