Advanced COMSOL Multiphysics^® Training

If you are looking to use more advanced features in COMSOL Multiphysics^®, this is the course for you.

This training course will cover the features in COMSOL Multiphysics^® for setting up moving meshes, applying goal-seeking techniques to adjust a model input in order to achieve a desired output, and selecting and manually configuring solvers. We will go over commands in the COMSOL Desktop^® as well as how to solve advanced problems efficiently.

To teach this course, we will use a mix of lecture and hands-on work. We also encourage you to come with questions about your own modeling work.

Schedule

Day 1: Advanced Modeling Techniques

9:00–17:00 Please plan to check in between 8:30–9:00.

• Equation-based modeling:
  • Coefficient form, general form, weak form, and constraints
  • Lower-dimension entities and global equations
  • Curvilinear coordinates
  • Events
• Nonlocal coupling:
  • Extrusion and projection
  • Connecting components of different dimensions
• Special operators:
  • Accessing variables on discontinuities: up(), down(), side()
  • Accessing variables in datasets: with(), withsol(), at()
  • Summing, integrating, concatenating
  • Convolution with the dest() operator
• Motion in models:
  • The moving mesh and deformed geometry option
  • Remeshing techniques

Day 2: Maximizing the Productivity of Your Simulation Work

9:00–17:00 Please plan to check in between 8:30–9:00.

• Optimization:
  • Optimize geometric dimensions, part shapes, material properties, or material distribution
  • Parameter, shape, and topology optimization
  • Parameter estimation
• Uncertainty quantification:
  • Understand the impact of model uncertainty — how the quantities of interest depend on input variations
  • Screening, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty propagation, and reliability analysis
  • Combine global optimization with uncertainty quantification
• Running COMSOL^® efficiently:
  • Batch processes
  • Parallelization
  • Distributed jobs on cores and nodes
• Model methods and building applications:
  • COMSOL API, recording methods, and the Java Shell window
  • Automate repetitive modeling tasks programmatically
  • Using the Form Editor to build user interfaces (UIs) for simulation apps and add-ins
  • App distribution with COMSOL Server™ and COMSOL Compiler™
