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

The purpose of this course is to introduce hands-on model building and solving techniques with COMSOL Multiphysics software version 4 to engineers, scientists, 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 to try to build the actual device (real prototype). No previous experience with COMSOL Multiphysics is required.

Course Materials:MM5Cover

You will be using the book, Multiphysics Modeling Using COMSOL 5 and MATLAB, and supplemental materials, both 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.
