    Comsol Mode Pde
AI Thread Summary
Using the PDE mode in COMSOL Multiphysics allows users to model temperature changes effectively. The discussion centers on modeling a copper piece transitioning from 6 Kelvin to 300 Kelvin and verifying results against custom equations. Users encounter challenges with boundary conditions and errors related to zero matrices. Identifying the source of the zero matrix error is crucial for successful modeling. Understanding how to input equations and set boundary conditions is essential for accurate simulations in COMSOL.

Hi everyone,

Can anyone explain how to use the PDE mode in COMSOL Multiphysics? I used the heat transfer package to model a piece of copper undergoing a change in temperature from 6 Kelvin to 300 Kelvin. Now I want to check to see that I can get the same results with my own equations. I don't even know how I would set the boundaries conditions.

Hi everyone,

I kind of figured out where to input my simple equation, but I keep getting an error due to a zero matrix. How do I find where this zero matrix is located?
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
