How to Use an Add-In to Convert Images to Geometry Models
Did you know that you can draw an image, import it into COMSOL Multiphysics®, and the Image to Curve add-in will create an interpolation curve from a contour plot of the image?

Developing a Silicon MEMS Chip for On-Demand DNA Synthesis
The development of genome editing tools like CRISPR-Cas9 has increased the demand for DNA synthesis technology. Researchers are creating a DNA synthesis platform to broaden horizons in the field.

Which Study Type Should I Use for My Electrothermal Analysis?
What’s the best interface to use when implementing electrothermal analyses in COMSOL Multiphysics? We go over the interfaces, study types, and multiphysics couplings for high and low frequencies.

How to Simulate Control Systems Using the PID Controller Add-In
A PID controller can be used in a variety of industries. This blog post demonstrates how a PID controller add-in can be easily incorporated in two simulation examples.

How to Customize Your Model Builder Workflow Using Add-Ins
By creating and using add-ins, as well as building your own add-in libraries or using the built-in library in COMSOL Multiphysics®, you can customize and streamline your Model Builder workflow.

What Is the Curl Element (and Why Is It Used)?
When solving some electromagnetics problems, the curl element (also called the edge element or vector element) can be used in the finite element method.

Using Web Browser Translation Tools for COMSOL Documentation
COMSOL documentation includes a lot of helpful information. Most web browsers include an automatic translation tool that enables you to read the documentation in the language of your choice.

How to Use the Load Plots in Structural Analyses
You can use the load plots available in the COMSOL® software to get the best possible visualization of the loads acting on your structural mechanics models in various situations.
