Food product, process and equipment design, like all other manufacturing, typically starts with building, testing and improving a prototype based on feedback. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) shifts ...

The aerospace and electronics industries have long applied computational models to not only design airplanes and chips, but also to simulate and optimize their performance. There have, until recently, ...

We present a computer-aided design tool for ion optical devices using the adjoint variable method. Numerical methods have been essential for the development of ion optical devices such as electron ...
