SUMMARY
The discussion centers on modeling electromagnetic (EM) wave interactions with metal particles using COMSOL's Electromagnetics Module without the RF Module. Users report challenges in simulating a copper strip for RF wave propagation, noting that while air with perfect electric conductor boundaries allows wave transmission, copper does not. The conversation highlights the distinction between the Electromagnetics Module and the RF Module, with participants seeking solutions for modeling in the absence of the RF Module. Ultimately, it is established that the RF Module is necessary for accurate modeling of such scenarios.
