Objective
The four-day class is a comprehensive introduction to solving problems using COMSOL Multiphysics. AltaSim’s instructors use their experience to teach the practical aspects of using COMSOL Multiphysics including:
- COMSOL Multiphysics interface
- Geometry development
- Meshing
- Physics set up
- Solver selection
- Post-processing
The class offers a combination of presentations, demonstrations, workshops, one-on-one instruction and individual problems. Practical demonstrations and workshops are designed to reinforce the concepts and techniques.
Training emphasizes practical skills and techniques essential for multiphysics analysis reinforced by useful tips and insight from staff that use COMSOL Multiphysics on a daily basis. On completion you will be proficient in the skills to use COMSOL Multiphysics to analyze your own multiphysics problems.
