We have a new case study on our website based on research at Imperial College into multiscale tomography and calculating permeability for catalysts. The project involved studying the influence of pore structure on fluid flow across large length scales in silica-alumina pellet-based catalysts.
3D data at different length scales was obtained from XMT, DBFIB-SEM and ET scanning and segmented into a binarised dataset.
In this case study, based on work carried out at Imperial College and University College London, research was carried out into the performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The microstructure of an SOFC electrode was obtained using FIB tomography, and a volume mesh generated in Simpleware software, with the model then exported to Abaqus CAE. Boundary conditions were set in the solver and stress analysis conducted, which were able to approxiamte peak maximum principal stresses in response to thermal expansion.

We're pleased to announce a collaboration with MachineWorks' Polygonica for our future software releases. The collaboration involves adding Polygonica's mesh processing libraries into our +CAD module, which extends our core 3D image processing platform ScanIP.
In this project, Simpleware's image processing and mesh generation software was used to complete an ancient geological process through new technology. The goal of the project was to create a pseudomorph, an object that maintains an original shape over time while changing its inner materiality.
We're looking for an experienced, German-speaking sales engineer to represent us in the German market.
Pay: Excellent basic and OTE Location: Germany
The company
New research is emerging out of a project where Ohio State University used our software to reconstruct the anatomy of an ant neck. In this project, micro-CT scans of an ant neck were reconstructed using Simpleware software and exported as a mesh for analysis in Abaqus.
We've just posted a new case study on our website, which focuses on how image-based modelling from CT and processing in Simpleware software can enable better understanding of racehorse joint injuries.
