Electroplating Simulations for Printed Circuit Board Designers
The manufacture of a printed circuit board (PCB) often involves a process called electroplating, which can vary from design to design. A simulation app can make it easy to analyze this process.

Introducing the Design Module
The Design Module has specialized features for advanced geometry modeling, including the ability to create fillets on 3D designs or generate shell approximations of imported geometric objects.

Where to Find Application Builder Tutorial Apps
Did you know that COMSOL Multiphysics® includes an Application Library full of tutorial models and demo apps? Learn how to access this helpful feature for modeling guidance and inspiration.

Automatic Meshing for Electromagnetic Simulations
Ever struggle to mesh the infinite elements or perfectly matched layers in your electromagnetics simulations? Automatic meshing can help >>

Creating an App for Modeling Flow Control in a Pipe Network
Simulation apps can be used as dedicated tools for modeling the flow and pressure distribution inside a network of connected pipes. This would be useful in, for example, semiconductor processing.

Making Waves with Contour and Isosurface Plots
In this installment of our blog series on postprocessing your simulation results, learn how to use contour and isosurface plots to show quantities on a series of lines or surfaces.

Using Virtual Operations to Simplify Your Geometry
CAD geometry: A set of data structures that provide a very precise method for describing the shapes of parts (called boundary representation, or B-rep).

Create Geometry from an Imported Mesh
Did you know that as of COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.0, imported meshes can easily be converted into solid geometry objects for further investigation and modeling capabilities?
