Solver Solutions
How, and why, switch between a fully coupled and a segregated approach to solving a multiphysics model?
How, and why, switch between the direct and iterative linear system solver?
Fully Coupled versus Segregated...

I am solving a Multiphysics problem involving electromagnetics and heat transfer. The electromagnetic fields are varying at a constant frequency, and the period is very short compared to the timespan over which the...

My models contain a lot of solution data, and I do not want my file sizes to get too large, it takes a lot of disk space. What can I do to reduce file size? Will this reduce the time it takes to solve the model?
File...

I am solving a transient model and changed the stepsize in the Times: field in the Study Settings, but the solver is still taking exactly the same timesteps. It seems the timesteps that the solver is taking are not...

This solution describes how to launch a parametric sweep, a batch sweep, or a cluster sweep simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics® from the command line.
Short Summary
Model methods are presented as a concept to modify...
Version: All versions - Platform: All Platforms
You compute a distributed parametric sweep on a cluster. When processing the results some values are missing or you get errors such as "The solution number is invalid" or "Solution number is out of range".

I am solving a transient model which has loads that change instantaneously in time, but the solver appears to be missing some of these changes in the loads. How to I get the solver to correctly recognize when the load...
Version: All versions - Platform:
I am solving a transient model and am expecting the solution to oscillate over time in response to step changes in the loads. How should I set up such a model? What solver changes should I make?
Certain models will...

The default behavior of the software is to assume a different scaling for each set of variables in your model. These scale factors are by default automatically determined, but sometimes may need to be manually...

The geometric multigrid solver accelerates the convergence of the iterative solver by solving the finite element problem on a series of meshes rather than a single one. The multigrid algorithm starts with the initial...
