Learning Resources from COMSOL’s Own Website

This website, a recent creation by the company, has nice videos addressing the implementation of many COMSOL steps. It shows the big picture and detailed steps, often for the beginner. This can be most useful as you start to build your model and have specific questions that are not too specialized.

Case Studies to Learn COMSOL

These case studies are step-by-step implementations that are meant for learning COMSOL. They are from the text

Datta, A.K. and V. Rakesh.  2010.  An Introduction to Modeling of Transport Processes: Applications to Biomedical Systems.  Cambridge University Press. Updated chapters 2-4 for newer version of COMSOL also has introductory software stuff.

For Cornell course BEE/MAE 4530, find below this semester’s case studies to be implemented in COMSOL 5.2:

One and Two | Seven and Nine; Tooth Tutorial

Past COMSOL 4.1 implementations (do not try these unless you are using this old version of COMSOL):

One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six and Six (Note) | Seven | Eight | Nine | Ten
