Objective
This course provides an overview of the methods to obtain a converged solution for cases with a large number of degrees of freedom, and/or nonlinearity. Attendees will learn techniques to develop converged solutions and reduce computational requirements for specific classes of problems.
The course covers:
- The structure of the Study Node in COMSOL Multiphysics
- Best practices for selection of solver settings to obtain converged solutions
- Solver settings for effective use computational resources
- Differentiation between classes of problems
- Differences between solver settings for:
- Stationary vs. time-dependent
- Linear vs. non-linear
- Single vs. Multiphysics problems
- Diagnosing solver errors and selecting advanced solver settings
Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of COMSOL Multiphysics before attending.
Cost
The cost for this course is $800 per person for on-site or web-based training. Each attendee of web-based training must be a registered student.
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for people who seek to analyze computational models with non-linear solutions and/or large numbers of degrees of freedom using COMSOL Multiphysics. It is expected that attendees will have an existing knowledge of the structure of COMSOL Multiphysics and will possess a relevant engineering, physics, mathematics or science background.
Course Content
In this course, attendees will be led through use of COMSOL Multiphysics and will focus on use of the Study Node to obtain converged solutions of complex problems with non-linearity and high number of degrees-of-freedom. The following items will be covered:
- Structure of the study node
- Critical solver variables in the study node
- Effect of changing critical variables
- Best practices for non-linear problem solving
- Methods to reduce computational memory and CPU time
