Is Comsol easy to learn?

when it takes 2 years for you to become expert in COMSOL, it must take more time for me to learn this software. of course i believe COMSOL is easier and more user friend and more general than ANSYS and other FEM softwares. and I prefer COMSOL to any other software.

How do I start learning Comsol?

To get started, all you need is an internet connection. If you want to follow along with the series within the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, you can log into your COMSOL Access account and download exercise model files when needed.

How do I design on Comsol?

There are four main ways you can generate the geometry for your simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics:

  1. Draw the geometry within the COMSOL® software.
  2. Import an external CAD file.
  3. Use one of the LiveLink™ products.
  4. Import mesh data from an external file.

What is Comsol good for?

COMSOL Multiphysics enables you to simulate electromagnetics, structural mechanics, acoustics, fluid flow, heat transfer, and chemical phenomena in one environment, following one workflow. All simulation apps are created with the same tool, the Application Builder, independent of the type of physics involved.

Is COMSOL a good software?

COMSOL Multiphysics Ratings
“COMSOL application is an excellent FEM software solution.”They have been a pioneering software in the multiphysics area and conduct very good training programs to get students and users off to a good start.”

How much does COMSOL Multiphysics cost?

The base COMSOL license cost $4000. The license is perpetual, but if you do not pay the yearly maintenance fee (about 20% of the license cost) then you will not be able to use the license with new versions of the COMSOL software.

Where can I learn COMSOL?

COMSOL® Learning Center is now available to all engineers interested in multiphysics simulation. The Learning Center features a series of video tutorials in a self-guided learning environment that gives users a comprehensive introduction to working with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software.

How do I run a model on COMSOL?

How do I open model library in COMSOL?

Within the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, click on the “File” (or “Windows” if you are using Mac® or Linux®) menu item, then select the “Model Libraries” option from the drop-down. This will pull up a list of all the add-on modules you have installed.

How do you draw on Comsol?

Using the Rectangle button, the object is drawn by left-clicking, dragging the mouse to the desired size, and then left-clicking again to complete the drawing. Using the Polygon button, the object is drawn through forming line segments for each edge.

How do you extrude Comsol?

Send a report to the moderators

  1. Define geometry as 3D.
  2. Right click geometry then click option “work plane.”
  3. Do the planar geometry which you plane to extrude.
  4. Right click geometry again. It will show you options including “extrude.”
  5. Click extrude. Instruction are pretty simple from here.

How do you draw a triangle in Comsol?

draw lines close to the values you want with a mouse, then edit the numerical values the the final desired ones. I think the easy way is to select to draw a Polygen but you can set three point out of the five to sit on eachother, this way it will become a triangle.

Is COMSOL used in industry?

COMSOL is used extensively in industries.

Can you get COMSOL for free?

COMSOL® Client for LiveLink™ for MATLAB® is a free tool available for macOS and Linux®. You can use it to connect to COMSOL Server™ with LiveLink™ for MATLAB®. If you are looking to download and install either COMSOL Multiphysics® and its client or COMSOL Server™, please click here.

Which is better Ansys vs COMSOL?

Which one is better COMSOL or ANSYS?COMSOL is far more intuitive and user-friendly software (in fact, it is perhaps the most user-friendly FEA application), and it can still handle a wide range of complex issues. When it comes to structural studies and CFD simulations, however, ANSYS seems more talked about.

Is COMSOL similar to Ansys?

Both software are good for modeling engineering applications. ANSYS fluent is mostly useful for volumetric simulations. COMSOL can also do the same simulations but with different methodologies.

Is COMSOL better than abaqus?

Abaqus has much more efficient solvers than COMSOL 5.2a. Very powerful in nonlinear problems and that is why it has been used in Aerospace and Automotive industry. COMSOL is a very powerful tool to solve many PDE. You just need the strong or better weak form of a problem.

What is CFD COMSOL?

The CFD Module, an add-on to COMSOL Multiphysics, is a powerful tool that enables users to carry out these simulations for a variety of fluid flow. These include laminar and creeping flow, non-Newtonian flow, turbulent flow, two-phase flow, thin film flow, and rotating machinery.

Does Comsol work on Mac?

COMSOL Multiphysics also offers an extensive interface to MATLAB and its toolboxes for a large variety of programming, preprocessing and postprocessing possibilities. The packages are cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux).

How do I find my Comsol trial password?

Please contact your COMSOL representative. You can reach out through the website, or by phone. Either way, please visit the COMSOL contact page.
