Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics®
Intensive introduction to using COMSOL Multiphysics® for modeling and simulation
This training course is the recommended starting point for learning how to use the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Over the course of two days, you will develop a strong foundation for your future multiphysics modeling work. We will start at an introductory level, moving through the essential steps in the modeling workflow, and follow this with more advanced topics, such as solution techniques and multiphysics modeling.
To allow for more hands-on learning and offer you the opportunity to ask the instructor questions face to face, this training course will take place in person. Each day's program will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with breaks scheduled throughout.
Training Course Objective
We will use a combination of lectures and hands-on exercises to teach this training course. The goal is to immerse you in the COMSOL Multiphysics® modeling workflow and help you feel comfortable working with the software. By the end of the training course, you will have the skills to effectively set up and solve models as well as evaluate your model results.
