This course is taught as a module in the Fundamentals program and can also be included in a custom program.

Course overview

This course contains the explanation of the main tools for the calculation of solutions, which is the ultimate goal of numerical software.

Students will review the study types and numerical solvers available in COMSOL Multiphysics, starting with a general introduction and then moving into the different study steps.

The course also covers operator, attribute and solution utility nodes, as well as job configurations.

The objective is to learn and practice the tools available in COMSOL Multiphysics to solve a multiphysics model by setting up studies and selecting and tuning numerical solvers.

Study and solver areas covered
