Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics^®

Learn the fundamentals of the COMSOL^® software modeling workflow

If you are looking for an introduction to using COMSOL Multiphysics^®, this is the course for you. During the 3-day event, you will develop a strong foundation for your future multiphysics modeling work. We will start at an introductory level, leading you through the essential steps needed in all analyses (geometry creation, interactive meshing techniques, model setup, and visualization and results). Afterward, we will move into more advanced topics, such as solution techniques and multiphysics modeling.

The course program features a combination of demonstrations, lectures, and self-guided hands-on training. The goal is to immerse you in the main aspects of using COMSOL Multiphysics^® to increase your familiarity and comfort when working with the software. After completing the course, you will feel more confident in your ability to correctly solve your simulation challenges using COMSOL Multiphysics^®.
