Electromagnetic Simulations Using COMSOL AC/DC Module: Using FEA to Design EM Devices
Two-Day, Online Training Class
This two-day course is designed for engineers, researchers, and professionals looking to enhance their AC/DC modeling skills using COMSOL Multiphysics. Whether you are new to COMSOL or seeking to expand your expertise, this course provides a practical introduction to the AC/DC Module.
The course covers essential concepts for modeling static, transient, and harmonic electromagnetic fields. Participants will learn how to simulate key applications such as resistive, capacitive, and inductive devices, as well as systems involving magnets, nonlinear magnetic materials, electromagnetic forces, and motion. The course will also introduce various unique boundary conditions for modeling thin surfaces, open boundaries, infinite element domains, and symmetry conditions.
Through hands-on exercises and expert guidance, attendees will build a strong foundation in using the AC/DC Module to effectively simulate real-world engineering challenges.
