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.
Streamline Your Simulation Workflow with Named Selections
When you are creating a model, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of all the parts in the geometry, including the conditions or constraints that apply to each section. This is especially true when dealing with large, complex geometries and multiple physics interfaces. In COMSOL Multiphysics, tools like named selections help maintain your model setup and streamline your workflow. Here’s a look at three tutorial videos demonstrating how to create and utilize Explicit, coordinate-based, Boolean, and adjacent selections.
