Modeling Metallic Objects in Wave Electromagnetics Problems
What is a metal, anyway? These materials are highly conductive and very good at reflecting incident electromagnetic waves, including light, microwaves, and radio waves.

Which Module Should I Choose for Working with My CAD Data?
We go over which add-on module or LiveLink™ interfacing product is best for your modeling scenarios involving CAD data. Get a comprehensive overview here.

Modeling Laser-Material Interactions with the Beer-Lambert Law
Did you know that you can use the Beer–Lambert law to model laser–material interactions in COMSOL Multiphysics®? Learn how here.

Improving Your Meshing with Partitioning
It can be tedious to subdivide your CAD geometry into a finite element mesh. In this blog post, we demonstrate how to use a manual meshing method called geometric partitioning to do so.

Curve Fitting of Experimental Data with COMSOL Multiphysics
Have you ever had to work with experimental data in a model? Learn how to fit smooth curves and surfaces to experimental data using the core functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics®.

Ports and Lumped Ports for Wave Electromagnetics Problems
The Lumped Port boundary condition can be used to model boundaries through which a propagating electromagnetic wave will pass without reflection. Learn how to use this feature in your EM models.

Implementing a Thermostat with the Events Interface
Hot or cold? You can use the Events interface in COMSOL Multiphysics® to implement a basic on-off thermostat in your model for controlling a heat load. Get a demonstration of how to do so here.

Modeling a Periodic Heat Load
Interested in modeling periodic, or pulsed, heat loads? Modeling such a situation accurately and efficiently in COMSOL Multiphysics® is simple with the Events interface. Learn more…
