How to become more skillful with COMSOL

[Urmi Roy]

I'm using COMSOL for my undergraduate project-work. I have explored the different options available on the different menus.

However, I find that when going through tutorials, a lot more could be done using COMSOL if I knew the software in more detail, and I feel that could be possible only through formal training (or going thrugh lots of tutorials, which is a real pain).

I've even done some research based on a simulation done on COMSOL which represents a biological system. As one might guess, a biological system is intricate and has
many subtle aspects. However, I'm really not sure that I've done it well enough. What would be the best way to learn all the subtleties of COMSOL (or other such software)? Does everyone face similar problems?

The best way to learn all the subtleties of COMSOL (or other such software) is to attend a formal training course or to find an experienced user who can mentor you. While going through tutorials is helpful, nothing beats having an experienced user to answer your questions and guide you through the process. Additionally, there are many online resources available that provide step-by-step instructions on how to use COMSOL, as well as videos and webinars. If you want to get more hands-on experience, there are COMSOL User Groups that organize events where you can meet other users and discuss specific problems or challenges.
