Sensing Secrets Fall to Multiphysics Analysis
Software that combines several engineering disciplines helps improve devices for measuring the density of asphalt. The simulation of complex devices is a bit easier, thanks to analysis software that simultaneously handles several physical disciplines. An example of these new capabilities comes from

FEA software ready to model many physical phenomena
require additional analysis capability, Femlab can be configured to run with Matlab (Versions 6.5 and later). However, Femlab does not require Matlab. The best way to describe software features is to work through an engineering problem, such as a sensor redesign. Our company produces an asphalt sensor
