Objective
Multiphysics Solutions using COMSOL Multiphysics® provides a comprehensive introduction to solving problems using COMSOL Multiphysics®. AltaSim's instructors use their experience to teach the practical aspects of using COMSOL Multiphysics®.
The course offers a combination of presentations, demonstrations, workshops and individual problems. Practical demonstrations and workshops are designed to reinforce the concepts and techniques. Upon completion you will be proficient in the skills needed to use COMSOL Multiphysics® to analyze your own multiphysics problems.
For success, it is recommended that participants possess a relevant engineering, physics, mathematics, or science background.
Paid participants will receive a two-week trial license for the entire COMSOL Multiphysics® suite for use during the course in addition to a digital copy of the course materials in PDF format. Students may also purchase hard-copies of the materials for an additional cost of $50 for the first session ordered and $25 for each additional session.
Instructors
Instruction will be performed by experienced engineers who use COMSOL Multiphysics® on a daily basis to solve real world problems. Among the instructors will be: Kyle Koppenhoefer, AltaSim President; AltaSim Senior Engineer, Josh Thomas; Luke Gritter, AltaSim Principal Engineer; AltaSim Research Engineer, Jess Rosenberg; and Mark Varady, AltaSim Senior Engineer.
Payment Methods
Payment must be provided in advance. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or company purchase order.
Please note that your seat in the course can not be confirmed until payment has been received.
Cancellation Policy
Instructor-led training tuition is fully refundable if we receive written notification of cancellation on or before seven business days prior to class start. Cancellations made less than seven business days prior to class will be charged 50% of the course fee. If you fail to show up to class without written notice, you will be charged the full class fee. You may send a substitute in your place.
Hear What Our Students are Saying
"I took the Multiphysics Solutions using COMSOL Multiphysics: An Introductory Training Course. It helped me jump start my understanding of COMSOL and how to build simulation models as well as visualize the results. I don’t regularly use COMSOL in my daily work so it is hard to remember all I learned. As a result, I often refer back to the class notes to help me remember how to do a specific task or what settings are needed to accomplish a specific action. The class and notes are valuable as a reference. AltaSim does a good job of training their students. I would recommend them for COMSOL training."
- Jim Vinson ~~ Renesas Electronics Corp.
"I attended two training courses titled "Electromagnetics in COMSOL Multiphysics: AC/DC" and "RF and Wave Optics" where I gained the necessary fundamental knowledge to dig deeper and obtain what is needed to enhance my research work. The efforts Dr. Yushanov invested in delivering the fundamental concepts have greatly helped to strengthen my understanding in building models and run simulations efficiently. These courses have also helped me to gain the required knowledge within a relatively short period of time. Thus, AltaSim Technologies, given its prestigious reputation in COMSOL training, is and will always be my first choice for training courses, as it provides all required knowledge for the most ideal habitat for my career aspiration in performing academic research."
