SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on simulating a moving boundary with mass loss in COMSOL Multiphysics. The user seeks to model a plate with a central hole that expands over time based on a velocity equation dependent on stress. For scenarios involving shape changes due to applied stress, the Moving Mesh interface is recommended. In contrast, for changes due to material removal or addition, the Deformed Geometry interface should be utilized. Additional resources are provided for further clarification.
