Assigning Materials
While assigning materials to some solids in my model, I am getting a red cross below the material name in Model Builder. What does that mean? What changes should I do to use those materials for the...
View ArticleSimulationtime for mapped meshes in 2D and 3D
Hi, Normally I used triangular meshes to simulate thin films on cantilever beams. Because of the very high aspect ratios I 've tried to use a mapped mesh for the rectangular geometry. The amount of...
View ArticleCooling after Inductive Heating of a Copper Cylinder (from Model ID: 148)
Hello, I am a new Comsol user. I have been trying to observe the cooling of the copper cylinder in the model 148, after a short period of heating. I tried to adapt the Icoil variable at the Single-Turn...

Hi all, I'm working on a model using piezodevice physics in the frequency domain, and I'm trying to plot admittance in dB (rather than siemen). I've found the admittance by taking the surface integral...
View ArticleALE question
Hi, I'm interested in the transient effects of a moving charged object on a grounded one (see image). I have first modelled this using a parametric sweep on the object's x position. But of course, this...

Hello, We are excited to announce that the COMSOL Conference 2013 Boston will be held on October 9-11th. With over 50 events to choose from, including training and presentations, this is the premier...
View Articlejust start with a known solution for first time step
Hi, there is a simple solution, or? I perform a time-dependent study. But the input variable for the time is not long enough, so I want to repeat this pattern several times. Unfortunately it does not...
