Implementing a Thermostat with the Events Interface
Hot or cold? You can use the Events interface in COMSOL Multiphysics® to implement a basic on-off thermostat in your model for controlling a heat load. Get a demonstration of how to do so here.
Modeling a Periodic Heat Load
Interested in modeling periodic, or pulsed, heat loads? Modeling such a situation accurately and efficiently in COMSOL Multiphysics® is simple with the Events interface. Learn more…
Discretizing the Weak Form Equations
In another installment of our blog series on the weak form equations, get an overview of how these equations are discretized and solved numerically in the COMSOL® software.
Application-Specific: Polar, Far-Field, and Particle Tracing Plots
When postprocessing your electromagnetics models, you can use polar, far-field, and particle tracing plots to effectively display your results. Learn how to use these 3 plot types here.
Using Perfectly Matched Layers and Scattering Boundary Conditions for Wave Electromagnetics Problems
Learn how to use scattering boundary conditions and perfectly matched layers to truncate domains for your wave electromagnetics problem — and which technique is best for your modeling scenario.
Dielectrophoretic Separation
Dielectrophoresis is a phenomenon in which an electric field is used to control the movement of electrically neutral particles. Learn about how to model this effect in both DC and AC fields.
How to Use COMSOL Multiphysics, a Tutorial Video
New to running simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics®? Get a preview of a step-by-step tutorial video that demonstrates how to set up and solve your first model.
Using General Extrusion Operators to Model Rotation
You can use the General Extrusion operators in COMSOL Multiphysics® to simulate rotating objects exposed to loads. A common real-world example of this is rotisserie-style foods.
