An electronic height gauge is used to measure vertical dimensions from a reference surface, usually a surface plate. It provides a digital display of the measured value with a least count of 0.01 mm.

The electronic height gauge is a compact, simple, and easy-to-use instrument, widely used in industries, tool rooms, inspection departments, and workshops. Due to its high cost, proper handling and care are important for any industry or organization.

Useful Tips for Handling an Electronic Height Gauge

  • Keep the column and slider clean. Dust and dirt can affect smooth movement and measurement accuracy.

  • Ensure the slider lock is OFF while sliding the slider and ON when the slider is at rest to prevent accidental movement.

  • Set zero before measurement.
    If the main scale can be adjusted, move it to set the zero point properly and securely tighten the fixing nuts.

  • Avoid parallax error.
    While reading the scale or aligning the scriber, always observe straight and perpendicular to the graduations.

  • Proper storage is essential.
    Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.

  • If the electronic height gauge is not used for more than three months, remove the battery before storage to prevent leakage or damage.

comsol design of mechanical part

COMSOL Multiphysics Essentials

You will understand the major COMSOL modules such as AC/DC, CFD, Heat Transfer, Structural Mechanics, MEMS, and Pipe Flow. This helps you see how COMSOL is used in different engineering fields.

You will learn how to customize the COMSOL desktop, use the Model Wizard, access the main menu and toolbar, and follow the basic steps needed to build any simulation model. You will also use ChatGPT to understand sequencing in COMSOL.

You will learn global and local definitions, create variables and expressions, use operators and functions, and load parameters from external text files with AI assistance. This gives you strong control over parametric modeling.

You will work with geometry tools, selection lists, transparency settings, hiding and showing entities, rendering, and user-defined selections. This helps you build clean and accurate models.

You will learn geometry modeling, adding nodes, editing nodes, and understanding the current node. You will also use ChatGPT to assist with geometry features.

You will explore material databases, assign materials properly, work with the material browser, and use external material libraries. You will understand how materials behave in multiphysics simulations.

You will learn how to build full COMSOL models using the Model Builder, manage nodes, enable or disable physics, save files, open model libraries, and explore advanced results sections using GPT-based guidance.

Finally, you will work on multiple learning projects covering named selections, meshing, solver studies, results plotting, friction modeling, and cylindrical roller simulations. These projects help you apply COMSOL to real engineering problems.
