(Online) Cable Modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics^® Course (3 Days)

This is a comprehensive three-day training course aimed at individuals seeking to enhance their skills at Cable Modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics^®.

Understanding the thermal and electromagnetic behavior of high voltage cables is key to their design. It is necessary to identify if the cable will exceed the maximum allowable temperature, predict safe loading currents and calculate the electromagnetic fields generated within and around the cables. As a multiphysics simulation package, COMSOL^® allows these to be calculated while accounting for effects such as the skin depth and temperature dependent conductivites, ensuring accurate predictions.

The (Online) Cable Modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics^® Course (3 Days) will develop the key skills needed to model cables in COMSOL Multiphysics^® using the Heat Transfer and AC/DC modules. At the end of the course you will be confident in defining cable geometries, applying material properties, selecting the appropriate physics interfaces and study steps for the model, and extracting key outputs.

To teach this course, we use a combination of demonstrations, lectures and self-guided hands-on training.
