 Course Content:

The models that you will build during this intensive course are directly derived from the physical world (applied physics), and they are presented using First Principle Analysis techniques. You will be trained in the use of the COMSOL Multiphysics software, and you will also learn to explore each modeling problem by using the first principles that apply specifically to the desired solution. This course emphasizes the technique of understanding the underlying concepts that you should analyze before you build a model (virtual prototype).

Over the two days of this course, you will build advanced example models that emphasize the fundamental concept that the high quality of your modeling solution depends on using materials coefficients and fundamental assumptions of equally high quality.

The goal of this course is to expose you to all of the primary aspects of developing advanced-level COMSOL Multiphysics models.  This course utilizes a combination of theory-based and applied lectures, with instructor-assisted student model building sessions, so that you will develop self-assurance about your abilities to model at the advanced level with this software and so that you will be certain that you are correctly solving your simulation problems using COMSOL Multiphysics software and the First Principles technique.

The purpose of this course is to introduce advanced hands-on model building and solving with COMSOL Multiphysics software version 4 to scientists, engineers, physicists, and others interested in exploring the behavior of physical device structures through a computer simulation (virtual prototype), before going to the workshop or laboratory and trying to build the actual device (real prototype). It is not required, but is recommended that students desiring to take this course complete the earlier course first, or have some initial experience using COMSOL Multiphysics software.

Course Materials:MM5Cover

Your textbook will be the book, Multiphysics Modeling Using COMSOL 5 and MATLAB, written by your instructor, Dr. Roger W. Pryor, a COMSOL Certified Consultant.  The book, supplemental materials, and a copy of the COMSOL Multiphysics software for use in class are provided at no additional cost.
