The Science of Composting
Compostable coffee pods in recyclable packaging are an environmentally friendly way to get your morning caffeine fix. But what exactly is the science behind the composting process?
The Physics Behind Baseball Pitches
3 forces affect a baseball pitch after leaving a pitcher’s hand: gravity, drag, and the Magnus force. Gravity pulls the ball down, drag slows the ball, and the Magnus force depends on the pitch.
FIRST® Robotics at PTC® Live Global 2014
COMSOL was an exhibitor at PTC® Live Global 2014. Learn about a PTC program called FIRST® Robotics, which is meant to help kids involved in science and technology.
Parameter Optimization with the LiveLink™ Products
Did you know that the LiveLink™ interfacing products in the COMSOL Product Suite can be used to perform a parameter optimization study of your model? Keep reading for more info…
Happy Birthday, Josef Stefan
Josef Stefan is known for deriving the relationship between the radiant energy of a blackbody and its temperature, known as the Stefan–Boltzmann law. Learn more about the Austrian physicist.
Size Parameters for Free Tetrahedral Meshing in COMSOL Multiphysics
COMSOL Multiphysics® has 9 built-in size parameter sets when meshing. In this blog post, we’ll discuss size parameters for 1 of these sets: free tetrahedral meshing.
Dedicated Multiphysics Node Introduced in COMSOL 4.4
To make it easier and more transparent to define models involving multiple physics phenomena in COMSOL, a separate Multiphysics node has been added as a new feature in COMSOL version 4.4. The Multiphysics node gives you control over the couplings for thermal stress and electromagnetic thermal effects involved in your models. Future versions will include further multiphysics couplings through the Multiphysics node in addition to the multiphysics couplings methods already available since previous versions.
Video Tutorial: Introducing the New User Interface in COMSOL 4.4
Each COMSOL release aims to create a better modeling experience for our users, usually in the form of new add-on modules and new functionality in existing products. COMSOL 4.4 brings you all that, but it also includes another significant change: a brand new user interface (UI). The new UI contains a ribbon at the top of the interface (for our Windows® users) to make your modeling easier and faster. The ribbon gives you direct access to the functions you would […]
