This paper utilizes COMSOL Multiphysics® software and the Application Builder to simulate neurological responses in nerve axons due to external electrical stimuli. The AC/DC Module of the COMSOL® software is first used to solve the Maxwell's equations. Then the results from the Maxwell's equations are used to drive a second model constructed using global equations using the Global ODE and DAE interfaces. A simulation app was built with the Application Builder to simplify the whole simulation process.
