Introduction
This course combines the introductory and advanced COMSOL courses into a
2-day intensive training. We start at an introductory level, then lead the
student through topics needed in all analyses (interactive meshing
techniques, choosing solvers, etc) and then into advanced topics (coupling
variables, adding and modifying equations) using lecture, worked examples and workshop problems. The goal is to immerse the student in all of the main aspects of using COMSOL so that he or she can feel comfortable with most of the commands accessible from the user interface and confident that they can be productive solving simulation problems with COMSOL.
Day 1, 9:00am - 5:00pm
By using a variety of examples each step in the modeling process in COMSOL is explained. Next, you will be asked to use this knowledge in hands-on exercises. In particular the following will be considered:
- Geometry modeling in 2D and 3D
- Using expressions
- Controlling mesh generation
- Standard and non-standard boundary conditions
- Solvers available and options
- Mathematical background and PDEs
- Post-processing options
Day 2, 9:00am - 5:00pm
On this second day your working knowledge of COMSOL will be expanded so that you may get the most out of each modeling step
- Specifying your own PDE systems
- Solvers available and options
- Advanced geometry modeling
- Mathematical background and PDEs
- Standard and advanced post-processing options
- Using external functions in the material parameters/PDE coefficients
- Scripting programming and editing COMSOL Multiphysics model m-files
- Non-local coupling variables (extended multiphysics)
According to the length of the course and the interests of the participants, some or all of the above will be considered.
