Studies and Solvers. Results

Taught by Jan-Philipp Weiss and Alejandro Cifuentes López

This course is one of the most important. It contains the explanation of the main tools for the calculation of solutions, which is the ultimate goal of the numerical software. We will explain in detail the study types and numerical solvers available in COMSOL Multiphysics software. We will start with a general introduction to continue with the different study steps, the operator, attribute and solution utility nodes and the job configurations.

On the other hand, once the solutions have been calculated, it is necessary to undertake the final task of analyzing, representing, processing and extracting the required results. We will describe all the functionalities for the visualization and analysis of the results, as well as the management of the datasets. We will show and practice the methods available for the extraction of derived values in tables, the generation of graphical representations, the management of graphical groups, the export of data and images and the generation of reports.

Therefore, the first objective of the course is for you to learn and practice all the tools available in COMSOL Multiphysics to solve a multiphysics model, by setting up studies and selecting and tuning numerical solvers. The second objective is to learn the techniques available to adequately represent the results obtained and extract the relevant information from the calculated solutions.
