COMSOL Multiphysics software is the most popular software
modelling tool for engineers and scientists. With the
recent release of v.4.0, it allows the user to create
simulated environments for computerized modelling of
physical systems and devices. Designed for use by the
professional engineer or in a senior level course,
"Multiphysics Modelling Using COMSOL v.4" explores a wide
range of models in coordinate systems from 1D to 3D and
introduces the readers to the numerical analysis
techniques employed in the COMSOL
Multiphysics[registered] software. It focuses on models
from the electromagnetic, electronic, optical, thermal
physics, and biomedical areas as examples for later
applications used in the development of devices and
systems. The text includes executable code for each model
and related animations on the accompanying DVD. It also
includes detailed discussions of possible modelling
errors and results. It uses a step-by-step modelling
methodology linked to the Fundamental Laws of Physics
that are relevant to the problem and correlates them with
the observed behaviours demonstrated in each multiphysics
model. It includes a DVD with executable copies of each
model, related animations, and a free trial version of
the complete PKS-MPD Materials Properties Database from
Pryor Knowledge Systems.
