FAQ
What version of COMSOL does this book cover?
This book specifically focuses on COMSOL Multiphysics version 5, providing guidance and examples relevant to that release.
Do I need prior experience with COMSOL or MATLAB?
Some familiarity with basic engineering principles and computational concepts is helpful. While it offers step-by-step guidance, it's geared more towards users who have at least some foundational knowledge of simulation or either COMSOL or MATLAB, rather than complete beginers.
Do I need access to both COMSOL 5 and MATLAB software to use this book?
Yes, to follow along with the examples and fully benefit from the book's practical approach, you will need access to both COMSOL Multiphysics version 5 and a compatible version of MATLAB.
What kind of multiphysics problems are covered?
The book covers techniques applicable to a wide range of multiphysics problems, including common couplings like thermal-structural, fluid-structure interaction, electromagnetic-thermal, and more. It focuses on the methodology of using COMSOL and MATLAB together.
How does the book explain the MATLAB integration?
It provides practical examples and explanations on how to use MATLAB scripts to interact with COMSOL models, automate simulation tasks, perform custom post-processing, and potentially control model parameters externally.
Is this book more theoretical or practical?
It's primarily a practical guide focused on the 'how-to' aspects of using the software for modeling, though it assumes some understanding of the underlying physics principles. It emphasizes application over deep theory.
