On Virtual Prototyping of Medical and Sonar Transducers
Friday, March 10, 2000 4:00 p.m. Dr. Greg L. Wojcik Weidlinger Associates Los Altos, California http://www.weidlinger.com Until recently, acoustic transducer designers relied almost exclusively on one-dimensional (1D) semi-analytical models and experimental prototypes. Now, many employ virtual prototyping, i.e., comprehensive computer simulations of 2D and 3D transducer devices. Effectiveness of virtual prototyping depends on five factors:…
