(Online) Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics^® (3 Days)

If you are looking for an introduction to using COMSOL Multiphysics^®, this is the course for you. During the 3-day "Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics^®" training course, you will develop a strong foundation for your future multiphysics modeling work. We start at an introductory level, leading you through the essential steps needed in all analyses (geometry creation, interactive meshing techniques, model setup, and visualization and results). Afterwards, we move into more advanced topics, such as solution techniques and multiphysics modeling.

To teach this course, we use a combination of demonstrations, lectures and self-guided hands-on training. The goal is to immerse you in the main aspects of using COMSOL Multiphysics^® to increase your familiarity and comfort when working with the software. After completing the course, you will leave feeling confident in your ability to correctly solve your simulation challenges using COMSOL Multiphysics^®.
