Wafer scratching from handling and processing can impact the performance of devices grown on a substrate. Knowledge process conditions modeling scratches wafers be used to elucidate root cause so that they eliminated.

Liquid foams have important practical applications in mineral separation and oil recovery. However, the details of the foam mechanics in these applications are poorly understood. Foam scientists have used 2D foam simulations to model foam behavior and 2D visualization solutions have helped them explore and analyze their data. Three-dimensional foam simulations remove some of the simplifying ass...

In this paper, novel methods for the PRO-CHAIN strategy are presented, and their application is discussed for an example. PRO-CHAIN enables statistical analysis and multi-objective robust designparameter optimization of forming processes as well as forming-to-crash process chains. The strategy is built upon several software tools which allow for an efficient sensitivity, stability and robustnes...

the built up layer thickness in secondary deformation zone is one of the important parameters in metal cutting process. the built up layer (bul) is formed in second deformation zone near the tool-chip interface in the back of the chip. this parameter influences the tool life and machined surface quality. this bul should not be confused with the built up edge (bue). the deformation of the bul in...

This paper introduces PROSTh1, a knowledge-based simulation design tool that automatically generates simulation models from process models. Domain experts who are familiar with the various aspects of the system may be interviewed and process models can be developed based on the evidence collected using PROSIM. The built-in simulation design support environment of PROSIM enables building simulat...

To advance the comprehension of complex biological processes occurring in crop plants (e.g. for improvement of growth or yield) it is of high interest to reconstruct and analyse detailed metabolic models. Therefore, we established a pipeline combining software tools for (1) storage of metabolic pathway data and reconstruction of crop plant metabolic models, (2) simulation and analysis of stoich...
