Plotting the Algebraic Residual to Study Model Convergence
Learn how to use the residual operator to plot the algebraic residual of your model, as well as visualize and understand the convergence properties of turbulent flow simulations.
Hear the Sound of an Organ Pipe Design with a Simulation App
Did you know that apps can generate audio results, not just visual data? The Organ Pipe Designer investigates the parameters behind an organ pipe configuration, then plays the resulting sounds!
Building More Effective Water Treatment Basins with Apps
Fluid flow simulation is an efficient way to optimize the design of water treatment basins to ensure their overall effectiveness. Apps expand these capabilities to a wider audience.
Evaluate Characteristics of a Periodic Finned Pipe with an App
We go over how to model a finned pipe setup in COMSOL Multiphysics®, as well as how to transform the model into a user-friendly simulation app.
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.
COMSOL Multiphysics® User Manuals Now Available in Chinese
The Simplified Chinese installation option for COMSOL Multiphysics® now offers access to a number of its installation and introduction manuals in versions that are translated into Chinese.
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.
Creating an App to Prevent Buckling in a Truss Tower Design
A simulation app can be used to calculate the critical compressive load for different truss tower configurations. We demonstrate such an app, which can be used as inspiration for your own, here.
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.
