Introducing the Ray Optics Module

November 14, 2014

COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.0 introduced an add-on module for electromagnetics modeling: the Ray Optics Module. It can be used to perform ray tracing and geometrical optics studies.

Video Tutorial: Introduction to Modeling Structural Mechanics

September 17, 2014

Learn the fundamentals of simulating structural mechanics problems in the COMSOL® software: Get a quick overview in this blog post, with an embedded video tutorial included.

Intro to Corrosion Modeling for the Oil and Gas Industry

May 22, 2014

From impressed cathodic current and anodic protection to sacrificial anodes, there are several ways you can protect structures from corrosion. We discuss some modeling considerations here.

Quick Intro to Modeling RF and Microwave Heating

May 20, 2014

If you’ve attended a COMSOL webinar about an RF topic, you’ve probably seen our model of a waveguide with a bend. That’s because it illustrates microwave heating in an easy-to-understand way.

Intro Model: Studying the Signal Strength of RF Coils

May 9, 2014

Electronics designers need to ensure that RF coils contained within their devices can properly transmit information from a source to its destination. Electromagnetics simulation can help.

Intro to the What, Why, and How of Distributed Memory Computing

February 20, 2014

In a follow-up to our post on shared memory computing, we discuss another building block of hybrid parallel computing: distributed memory computing.

A General Introduction to Chemical Kinetics, Arrhenius Law

February 13, 2014

Countless complications and pitfalls make chemical simulations challenging. Here, we give an introduction to chemical kinetics and Arrhenius law to help >>

Intro to the What, Why, and How of Shared Memory Computing

February 6, 2014

A couple of weeks ago, we published the first blog post in a Hybrid Modeling series, about hybrid parallel computing and how it helps COMSOL Multiphysics model faster. Today, we are going to briefly discuss one of the building blocks that make up the hybrid version, namely shared memory computing. Before that, we need to consider what it means that an “application is running in parallel”. You will also learn when and how to use shared memory with COMSOL.
