Introduction to Structural Analysis using COMSOL Multiphysics®
Introduction to structural analysis using COMSOL Multiphysics®
This intensive, one-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to the Structural Mechanics Module, an add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation platform. This module offers specialized capabilities for modeling a wide range of mechanical phenomena, from simple linear elastic components to complex, nonlinear structural systems.
Training Course Objective
The goal of this course is to familiarize you with the specialized features and applications of the structural product suite. By the end of the session, you will be equipped to efficiently set up and solve mechanical analyses, navigate the structural interfaces with confidence, and utilize built-in resources for advanced self-paced learning.
