Training Module Completed with a Microcertificate (5 ECTS)
Purpose
The module will benefit engineers, researchers, and Ph.D. students who intend to practically master multiphysical simulations and to acquire skills that allow solving major engineering problems by means of the Comsol Multiphysics professional tool.
Why Join
The main assets are:
- Practice-oriented instruction that features a focus on real-world industry and research
- Systematic insight into the finite element method (FEM), avoiding complex mathematics
- Multiphysical approach involving electromagetism, flux, heat, and mechanics
- Creating simulation applications and digital twins
- Training designed together with experts of the Humusoft company, the official COMSOL dealer
Aims and Objectives
The course covers the complete numerical modeling workflow, teaching the students to:
- Handle and apply the basics of the FEM
- Use the COMSOL graphical interface and create the geometries
- Mesh and postprocess the results
- Perform the modeling with user-defined equations
- Simulate the following items:
- Fluid flow (CFD)
- Heat transfer
- Electromagnetic fields (DC, AC, RF)
- Charged particle tracing
- Structural mechanics (statics, dynamics, modal analysis)
- Form simulation applications
- Design a neural network-based digital twin
- Propose an individual final project
Outcomes
After completing the module, the students will be able to pursue these tasks or activities:
- Explaining the principles of the FEM and multiphysical modeling
- Analyzing and formulating complex engineering problems
- Working autonomously in the COMSOL Multiphysics environment
- Designing and producing a numerical model across the physical domains
