Part 1: Modeling the Harmonic Excitations of Linear Systems
Learn how to model the harmonic excitations of a nonlinear system in COMSOL Multiphysics® in this comprehensive tutorial post. Part 1 of 2.
How to Implement a Delay in Your Thermostat Simulation
When simulating a thermostat in COMSOL Multiphysics®, you can implement a delay for short-cycling in addition to the on and off setpoints. See how here.
Thermal Modeling of the Air Flow Inside and Around Your House
Learn step by step how to set up a thermal model of the airflow in and around a house, including how to implement tabulated meteorological data from the historical ASHRAE database.
Exporting Meshes and Solutions Using the Application Builder
You can easily export mesh and analysis data from COMSOL Multiphysics® into a text file. How? Using the Application Builder. We show you how here.
Modeling Thermal Ablation for Material Removal
When certain materials are heated to a certain point, they go directly from the solid to the gas phase in a process called ablation. Learn how to model the thermal ablation process here.
Thermal Modeling of Phase-Change Materials with Hysteresis
Hysteresis occurs when the melting temperature of a material is different from the solidification temperature. We demonstrate the thermal modeling of such a material here.
How to Choose Between Boundary Conditions for Coil Modeling
3 approaches for truncating a domain when modeling an EM coil in free space: the Magnetic Insulation and Perfect Magnetic Conductor boundary conditions as well as the infinite element domain.
Modeling the Thermal Curing Process
Polymerization of a thermoset resin is one example of thermal curing, a process in which temperature-induced chemical change occurs in a material.
