Thermal Actuator Surrogate Model Application

Application ID: 120731


The Thermal Actuator Surrogate Model application demonstrates how to accelerate computation for multiphysics analysis using a surrogate model. A surrogate model is a simpler, usually computationally cheaper model, which is used to approximate the behavior of a more complex, and often more computationally expensive, model. The faster model evaluation offered by the surrogate model provides the user of the app a more interactive user experience and makes it easier to spread the use of simulations in an organization. This example illustrates how a surrogate model can be created and used in an app for a multiphysics simulation where the geometry is based on a parametric CAD model.

This application example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
