Multiphysics with ACE+
Thin Film Process Modeling
&
Fuel Cell and Battery Modeling
ACE+ is a multiphysics suite of codes enabling seamlessly coupled simulations of several physical
phenotorials mena including fluid flow, biological, chemical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal
phenomena. ACE+ is used by research and development teams as well as design engineers and
physicists worldwide, for a variety of applications in almost every industry. ACE+ has high level
physics interaction and makes it the ideal solution from the simplest heat transfer problem to the most
complicated multiphysics interaction problem.
ESI invites YOU to join a free half-day info workshop on multiphysics for Thin Film Process Modeling
followed by a half-day info workshop on Fuel Cell and Battery Modeling. Participants interested in
both topics are invited to spend the whole day. After a brief introduction to the physics addressed a
real industrial application will be demonstrated (grid generation, model set-up and post processing).
Computational resources will be available for attendees to try the software for themselves using
tutorials or to try setting up their own models.
Thin Film Process Analysis
Thin film processing often involves multiple stages including crystal growth, polishing, cutting and
wafer cleaning as well as successive deposition and etching steps.
Computational power available today allows for Multiphysics tools that allow virtual prototyping by
aiding in the design and operation of reactors and processes to be effectively leveraged to address
challenges such as optimizing these processes and reducing time to market.
This seminar is dedicated to research engineers, including design and modeling engineers, as well as
process engineers interested in modelling thin film processes such as RTP, CVD, ALD, PECVD or
more generally interested in resolving reactor scale phenomena as well as fine features.

The seminar will provide an overview of the modelling capabilities including those of volumetric and
surface reactions, radiation, plasma modelling and molecular dynamics for rarefied gas analysis.
Models addressing plasma processing steps will be demonstrated and hands on compute resources
will be available for attendees interested in taking first steps modelling an ICP reactor or a thermal
CVD process.
Fuel Cell & Battery Modelling
Fuel Cells and batteries are complex energy devices with components having conflicting design
requirements. For example, in a typical PEMFC, adequate water must be supplied to establish and
maintain the membrane electrical conductivity, while water produced by the cathodic reactions must
be simultaneously removed to avoid flooding the electrode.
Multi-physics simulations involving multi-component multiphase reacting flows in and around porous
media can provide design engineers a greater insight into the operation of a fuel cell.
Decisions related to flow management, heat management, catalyst design, electric connections,
optimal start-up and shutdown procedures, and how short circuits might influence device safety can be
done virtually without having to build costly prototypes.
This seminar will provide an overview of the modeling capabilities including efficient grid generation
techniques for complex flow fields, electrochemistry and material property description as functions of
operation conditions and mechanical and thermal stresses. A PEM fuel cell model simulation with be
demonstrated and hands-on compute resources will be available for attendees interested in modeling
a fuel cell or a battery.
