Webinar, Online
Overview
If
you are interested in learning how simulation can be used
to efficiently optimise a complex mechanical system, then tune into
this webinar with guest speaker Alex Norman, a mechanical engineering
consultant at Sagentia.
Sagentia
has been working on optimising large medical systems that must be light,
compact, and cost-efficient. The complexity of such systems is due to the
presence of many components that must be adjustable in six degrees of freedom
to submillimetre accuracy.
Alex
will discuss how combining solid, beam, shell, truss, and "joint"
elements enabled Sagentia to create a computationally efficient simulation
of a complete medical system. He will talk about different analyses that
Sagentia has undertaken to find the solution and demonstrate some of the
ways that the COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to efficiently couple
different structural mechanics physics, including multibody dynamics.
The webinar will include a live demonstration in the
software and conclude with a Q&A session.

Alex Norman: Mechanical Engineering Consultant, Sagentia Limited
Alex studied
aerodynamics at the University of Cambridge, and went on to take his PhD in
structural mechanics, developing novel deployable structures. He has taught
civil engineering and surveying, and worked at Arup’s Advanced Technology
Group, carrying out large numerical models of (amongst other things) crash impacts
on nuclear vessels. For the last 6 years, Alex has been the mechanical
engineering lead analyst at Sagentia, working on a range of product developments, from
wearable medical devices to surgical robotics, to industrial metering systems.
Robbie Balcombe: Technical Director, COMSOL
Robbie works as the technical team director at
COMSOL UK. He graduated from the University of Strathclyde in 2007 with a MEng
in Aero-Mechanical Engineering, and then carried out his PhD in the area of
numerical modelling of rolling contact fatigue at Imperial College London.
