How to Use the Find and Auto Completion Tools for Faster Model Setup
Looking for a way to set up your models faster? 1 approach is by using the Find and Auto Complete tools. We discuss how to use these tools and demonstrate in an embedded tutorial video.

Using the COMSOL Website Resources for Modeling and Software Help
The COMSOL website includes many helpful features and resources, including the COMSOL Blog (you’re on it right now), the Video Gallery, the Application Gallery, and more.

Using the Help Tools in COMSOL Multiphysics® for Modeling Guidance
Within the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, you have access to Help tools to guide you along your modeling process, including the Help, Documentation, and Application Libraries windows.

Efficiently Assign Materials in Your COMSOL Multiphysics® Model
To optimize your modeling processes, there are a number of built-in materials available for you to use in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Along with these materials are features and functionality that allow you to efficiently assign materials to geometric entities in your model. These tools help expedite the process of assigning materials, specifying material properties, and even comparing the impact of different materials on your simulation results. Here, we’ll highlight three tutorial videos that showcase how to use such tools.
