Specializing in accelerating product development with Multiphysics. Morten is focusing on inspiring and helping companies realize the potential of their development departments through virtual prototyping. Firmly believing that virtual prototypes are a tool to increase knowledge about products and processes, Morten is an advocate for the idea that virtual prototypes should be incorporated as a strategic tool in development processes, before labour-consuming and expensive physical prototypes are initiated. Morten is a true team player, helpful and pedagogical, on top of his technical skills. Before joining resolvent Morten has been working eight years with COMSOL, Inc., as an Applications and Technical Sales Engineer and Technical Sales Manager.

Morten Nørgaard Andersen
Ph.D. Mechanical Engineering
Morten is a specialist in both numerical analysis and mathematical optimization.
His passion for simulation has led him to a variety of numerical disciplines within mechanical engineering. For example, in the field of topology optimization where he weight-optimized a Nacelle skeleton ensuring the yield stress in the material was not exceeded. In addition, he has also used topology optimization to design compliant mechanisms subjected to large deformation, which requires geometrically nonlinear analysis in combination with nonlinear material models.
Morten has expertise in commercial and open-source finite element software such as COMSOL, ANSYS, PETSc/SLEPc and FEniCS. He also has experience with the programming languages MATLAB, Python and C++.
Morten’s passion for simulation stems from his belief that by using simulations, we can design smarter by optimizing performance and reducing material consumption.
