Quaise Uses Ansys Tools to Understand the Thermodynamics of a Novel Millimeter Wave Drilling Process

We are the early stages of developing millimeter wave drilling technology for deep geothermal heat access, mining and civil construction. Testing at this stage is cost-prohibitive so we use simulation to understand likely operating envelopes before committing to a design. Ansys can help prove the process from a coupled mechanical, thermal, fluid, and electromagnetic interaction.
