Automatic Meshing for Electromagnetic Simulations
Ever struggle to mesh the infinite elements or perfectly matched layers in your electromagnetics simulations? Automatic meshing can help >>
Creating an App for Modeling Flow Control in a Pipe Network
Simulation apps can be used as dedicated tools for modeling the flow and pressure distribution inside a network of connected pipes. This would be useful in, for example, semiconductor processing.
Making Waves with Contour and Isosurface Plots
In this installment of our blog series on postprocessing your simulation results, learn how to use contour and isosurface plots to show quantities on a series of lines or surfaces.
Using Virtual Operations to Simplify Your Geometry
CAD geometry: A set of data structures that provide a very precise method for describing the shapes of parts (called boundary representation, or B-rep).
Create Geometry from an Imported Mesh
Did you know that as of COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.0, imported meshes can easily be converted into solid geometry objects for further investigation and modeling capabilities?
Apps for Teaching Mathematical Modeling of Tubular Reactors
Chemical engineering students can use the Tubular Reactor app to model a nonideal tubular reactor and investigate the impact of different operating conditions. Learn more >>
A Brief Introduction to the Weak Form
Whether or not you use finite element analysis and vector calculus in your daily life, you’ll appreciate this introduction to the weak form equations.
Introducing the Ray Optics Module
COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.0 introduced an add-on module for electromagnetics modeling: the Ray Optics Module. It can be used to perform ray tracing and geometrical optics studies.
