Applied Magnetic Field Analysis with COMSOL Multiphysics

This COMSOL Multiphysics course using the Magnetic Fields Module is designed for any user interested in the software, whether or not they have prior experience with electromagnetic simulations using the Finite Element Method.

We begin with an introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.5 and its interface, showing the step-by-step process in detail to solve electromagnetic simulations of a ring (or loop) and a solenoid under steady-state electric current. Tips are provided for performing simulations efficiently and quickly, along with explanations of the boundary conditions required, depending on the physical focus of the model.

The interface is explored through its various sections (materials, 2D and 3D geometries, parameters, meshing, studies, and results), as well as the optional use of parameters within the software to carry out simulations. Finally, we discuss different ways to present the results.

In short, the course offers:

• Short lecture videos

• Explanation of the physical theory behind the model simulation

• A great way to get a general overview of the software

• Includes examples for meshing, geometry creation, and result visualization

The course includes a quiz and a hands-on simulation activity in the software that must be completed to successfully pass.

Throughout the course, you will gain hands-on experience by building models from scratch and applying key concepts such as magnetic vector potential, current density, and magnetic flux density. Whether you are a student, researcher, or engineer, this course will help you build a strong foundation for working with magnetic field simulations in COMSOL. You'll also learn best practices to improve model accuracy, reduce computational time, and interpret results effectively.

By the end of the course, you will be able to create your own electromagnetic simulations using the Magnetic Fields interface and understand how to adapt the simulation settings to suit different physical scenarios.
