Calculating Transmission of Electromagnetic Wave in COMSOL

Click For Summary
To calculate the transmission of an electromagnetic wave in COMSOL while propagating in a 2-D In-Plane TE Mode, it is crucial to determine the appropriate simulation settings. Users are advised to consider whether to use "Harmonic Propagation" or "Transient Propagation" modes for accurate results. Setting up a time step for integration may be necessary to analyze the transmitted field effectively. Engaging with the COMSOL Community forum could provide quicker insights and solutions from experienced users. Utilizing these resources can enhance the understanding of wave transmission in various mediums.

Hello All,

I have a fundamental Comsol question that maybe you can help me with.

If I am in say a 2-D In-Plane TE Mode. I am inputting a wave that will propagate left to right. What is the best way solve for the resulting field that is transmitted to the right boundary, regardless of what medium or pillars I put in its path. Seems like a simple to task to compute the transmission, but I am struggling.

I am assuming I will need to set up a time step to integrate over to make sense of it. Can this be done in the "Harmonic Propagation" mode or does it need to be in "Transient Propagation". Any input is welcome.

Thanks,
Jacob

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
