Modeling Heat Transfer in Layered Materials with COMSOL®

Duration: 56:09

Want to learn how to simulate heat transfer in layered structures? Watch this archived webinar to learn about how the layered material functionality in COMSOL Multiphysics® supports simulating heat transfer in thin shells, composite materials, and more. You will see examples of both single and multiphysics on a layered material and how to best visualize the results.

Learn more about how the COMSOL® software can fit your heat transfer analysis needs. Contact COMSOL to evaluate the software.
