Course Learning Outcomes

 

1. Evaluate and analyse bending of thin plates, defining boundary conditions

2. Demonstrate deflection in micro-cantilever beam and micro pressure diaphragm using COMSOL Metaphysics simulation

3. Compare the results through 2D, 3D, Post-processing, and exporting results for reports4. Identify steps, type of physics, and type of simulation analysis: Static, parametric, eigenfrequency, transient.

5. Demonstrate sensing principles such as mass loading and its effects on the resonance frequency in a typical acoustic wave sensor.

Who Must Attend 
This course is suitable for beginners interested in using COMSOL Multiphysics for mathematical modelling, especially for demonstrating sensors.

Prerequisites
This hands-on workshop requires only a basic knowledge of mathematical modeling. No previous experience with COMSOL Multiphysics and no MATLAB skills are required.
