Accessing Nonlocal Variables with Linear Extrusion Operators
In some modeling scenarios, you may need to transfer variables from one region of a computational domain (the source) to another (the destination). This can be done with an extrusion operator.

Improving Nuclear Reactor Designs with Simulation
Take a look inside the dynamics of a nuclear reactor — and then see how you can use multiphysics simulation to improve their design.
Finding a Structure’s Best Design with Topology Optimization
Think about the first architects who designed a bridge above water. The design process likely included several trials and subsequent failures before they could safely allow people to cross the river. COMSOL Multiphysics and the Optimization Module would have helped make this process much simpler, if they had computers at the time, of course. Before we start to discuss building and optimizing bridges, let’s first identify the best design for a simple beam with the help of topology optimization.
7 Ways to Use the Application Builder and COMSOL Server™
Create apps for colleagues and customers, enhance your model, and set aside a simulation project for later use: Get details on these and 4 other ways you can use the Application Builder.
Nestlé Sweetens the Candy Production Process with Simulation
Question: How does a well-known candy company ensure that each of their signature chocolate bars has the same consistency, texture, and taste? Answer: Fluid flow simulation!
Evolving into a Better Design: Humans and Technology as One
Read about how the concept of constructal law applies to the joint evolution of humans and technology in this blog post about a keynote talk from the Conference of the Academia Europaea 2015.
What Is Geometric Nonlinearity?
If you perform structural mechanics analyses, then you have most likely encountered the concept of geometric nonlinearity. But what exactly does geometric nonlinearity mean?
