Content

The course provides an introduction into the simulation of mechanical effects and linear, non-linear, static, dynamic and Eigenfrequence analyses with the Structural Mechanics Module of the new COMSOL Multiphysics version 4. Current and future users of the software can benefit by learning essential mechanical modeling tools that will make their simulations more efficient.

The course is a mix lecture, demos and guided tutorials with lots of opportunities to discuss. We show you where how the new tools of COMSOL 4 can be used most efficiently in your field of application and encourage you to bring in your own questions and models. Basic familiarity with COMSOL or modeling in general is a sufficient prrequisite.

• Starting from CAD: Importing or LiveLinking your geometry
• Efficient Meshing Techniques
• Linear and non-linear Analyse
• Material Models
• Contact and Friction
• Multiphysics: Thermal expansion, piezoelectricity etc.

One day of training can work wonders - after the course you will be ready to start off with your own advanced models.

You coaches

Dr. Thierry Luthy (Physicist) COMSOL Multiphysics GmbH, Zurich Thierry Luthy studied at the University of Neuchâtel in the field of superconducting materials. After his physicist diploma, he worked for some years at the EMPA Dübendorf in various research areas e.g. the nondestructive testing of high-technology ceramics. In 2003, he completed his PhD at the ETH Zürich in the field of composite materials.

Zoran Vidakovic COMSOL Multiphysics GmbH, Zürich Zoran Vidakovic received his BSc and MSc degrees in mechanical engineering from ETH Zürich, Switzerland. His studies and research projects focused on turbomachinery, heat transfer, fluid- and thermodynamics and advanced energy technologies in general. In his master thesis at the Laboratory for Energy Conversion he numerically investigated the turbine performance and heat transfer of innovative cycle concepts for CO2 capture ready fossil power plants. Before joining COMSOL in April 2010 Mr. Vidakovic completed a six month industrial internship in the Aero-/ Thermodynamics R&D department of MAN Turbo AG Schweiz.
