27 February - 1 March, 2008
Sheraton Hotel and Spa, Porto, Portugal

Thank you to all who visited the Simpleware/Arup/Norcam stand in the exhibiton area and attended the Simpleware/Arup Mini-Symposium: From Image to Analysis. We hope you enjoyed the talks.

We would also like to congratulate our employee Florian Pierron for winning the The Taylor & Francis prize for Innovative Contribution to Theoretical Biomechanics/Biomedical Engineering for his presentation on "Large strain deformationimage-based remeshing".

New COMSOL Export Case Study

As already mentioned in our last newsletter, the research group of Dr Reidar Schüller at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences has been using our software for research on salt diffusion in a pork bacon side. A complete case study is now available on our case study web page.

Simulation of salt diffusion in a pork (bacon) side using 3D imaging Schüller, R.B., Aastveit, A., Egelandsdal, B., Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Ås, Norway.

Salt diffusion simulation in a piece of pork bacon can be a relatively complex task as it consists of different regions of skin, meat, fat and bone. The case study however demonstrates that Simpleware and Comsol are very efficient tools to handle this type of food matrix. The bacon sample was first segmented and meshed in Simpleware, and then an industrial salting process was simulated in Comsol Multiphysics.
