Using Voids in COMSOL
In this month’s tips and tricks video, I share a tip I learned last month at the COMSOL Conference in Boston related to model voids. I will explain what voids are and how you can use them to improve your modeling workflow, particularly with the specific types of geometries I demonstrate. Click below to watch […]
Read MoreUsing the Transform Feature to Perform Transformation of Field Variables
In this month’s tips and tricks video, I will demonstrate with two different examples how to use the Transform feature to perform transformation of field variables from one coordinate system to another coordinate system. Click below to watch me walk you through the process. We have included the video transcription below to help you follow […]
Read MoreUsing Job Configurations to Combine Sequences into a Single Automated Job Run
In this month’s tips and tricks video, I will show you how to use job configurations to combine sequences into a single automated job run, which will enable you to solve for dozens or hundreds of automated layers. Click below to watch as I walk you through the process. To help you follow along, we […]
Read MoreCombine Solutions for Seamless Animations
Ever find yourself in a situation where you want to combine multiple datasets to create a single dataset for seamless animations and other post-processing operations? In this month’s tips and tricks video, I share a scenario that allows you to combine two separate transient studies without having to use separate editing software for video preparation. […]
Read MoreCreate Heterogeneous Materials from Images
In this month’s tips and tricks video, we are going to demonstrate how you can create heterogeneous materials using images. Click below to watch as I walk you through the process. To help you follow along, we have included the video transcription below. There’s no reason to learn software programs through trial and error, so […]
Read MoreIncompressible Potential Flow with COMSOL Version 6.2
COMSOL continues to make updates to Version 6.2, and in this month’s tips and tricks video, we are going to demonstrate how you can use the new update for Incompressible Potential Flow, which can be used to replace Laplace’s Equation to initialize fluid flow equations. Click below to watch as I walk you through the […]
Read MoreSolver Improvement for Modeling of Chaotic Systems
COMSOL has made some solver improvements to Version 6.2 of repeatability in chaotic simulations, which has been helpful for a particular project we’re working on for a customer. In this month’s tips and tricks video, we share an example of how this solver improvement helps us get the same answer with the same initial input […]
Read MoreUseful Postprocessing Techniques Using the Graph Marker Tool
In this month’s Tips and Tricks video, I am going to demonstrate some useful postprocessing techniques using the “Marker” and “Graph Marker” subnodes. A very simple problem of acoustic scattering is used as an example, however, demonstrated postprocessing techniques can be used for any other physics. Click below to watch as I walk you through […]
Read MoreExporting High-Resolution Probe Data During a Parametric Sweep
Through experience, we discovered that if you want to develop an accumulated probe table, it doesn’t export the full resolution that you requested under “Updating probes.” So, in our latest Tips & Tricks video, I walk you through three steps you can take to export high-resolution probe data during a parametric sweep. Click below to […]
Read MoreHow to Develop Fly-Through Animations
Fly-through animations are a creative way to visualize inside 3-dimensional plots. In our latest Tips & Tricks video, I demonstrate how to develop these fly-through animations. The trick is, once you have your results stored in your data set, you need to define a results parameter that will be used to govern a filter of […]
