Electrochemistry

[jrobrador19]

Good day.

I would just like to ask if Inventor is the right software for the following requirements:

Modeling and Simulation Software Incoporating Physical Mathematical Relationships in Electrochemistry, Semiconductor, and Electromagnetics (wave optics)

1) Modelling Software (general capability)

Equation-based modeling (equations already built-in)

Built-in physics-based modeling for Joule Heating, Electrostatics, Electric Currents

Coupling physics from various fields

Ability to import structures from CAD, text, SEM image, movies and other Materials Science imaging techniques

Multi-cores/multi-processor computing

Have ability to create applications for Windows

2) Electrochemistry modeling capability:

Modeling tools for electrochemical cells

Fluid flow and heat transfer simulations

Analyze current density distributions

Model electrochemical reaction kinetics

Simulate tertiary current density distribution

Simulate temperature-dependent ion-migration

Analyze behavior of porous electrodes

Simulate-electrode kinetics

Simulate AC impedance

Easily include supporting electrolyte conditions

Simulate surface catalytic reactions

If Inventor is not the right software for these requirements, what would you recommend?

Thanks,

Jerous

Inventor will work to model the physical shape of all your components.  Inventor is not capable of the electrochemical or thermal simulation you require.  It is limited to linear stress analysis.

I would research the simulation tools and use whatever CAD tool the simulation tool vendor suggests. A quick google search leads to Comsol's package here: https://www.comsol.com/electrochemistry-module.

Try this link from UT-Austin: http://cec.cm.utexas.edu/software

 You will have to write any equations you need to govern the shape of the components.  See http://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2018/ENU/?guid=GUID-8E5C63EA-0540-4EBE-9B17-B8159C7FE40C

You may be able to link the results of your analysis package to the Inventor model, but you will have to develop that solution yourself.  Search on the Inventor API, iLogic, and linking to Excel in the online help link above.
