To save space, some of the models come with compact MPH-files with all settings for the model but without built meshes and solution data. When you click on “Open Model” or “Open Model and PDF”, you will be able to view and work with the MPH-file:Īlternatively, to open the model, you can right-click the model name in the Model Libraries window, and then select the appropriate item from the context menu. Here’s an example of what the PDF looks like:Įxample of the instructional PDF that accompanies Model Library models. The document contains complete step-by-step instructions on how to set up and run the model.

To preview a tutorial model before opening it, simply click on it: All products will have an additional grouping by category, such as in the example below. The models are grouped by module, so to hone in on your area of interest, you just click on one of the arrows to expand. Similarly, you can find models that use a particular physics interface or feature, or models that address a specific field of technology using suitable keywords. If you have a specific model in mind, you can search for its full or partial name. Screenshot of the Model Library list in COMSOL Multiphysics with all of the installed add-on modules. This will pull up a list of all the add-on modules you have installed.

Within the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, click on the “File” (or “Windows” if you are using Mac® or Linux®) menu item, then select the “Model Libraries” option from the drop-down. Where to Find the COMSOL Multiphysics Model Library Note: If you are on trial, you will be able to access all of the Model Library examples for the duration of your trial. There are many application-specific tutorial models, so the more modules you have installed, the more tutorial models you will have at your disposal.

Each tutorial available in the Model Library comes with a model MPH-file and a PDF with the step-by-step instructions so you can learn how to build it on your own. This is exactly what it sounds like: a library chock-full of example models to help you get started. If you have installed COMSOL Multiphysics, you will have access to the Model Library. Here’s your guide to what these resources are and how to use them. We also continuously push out model updates that you can download to your Model Library. There are two main resources for finding COMSOL Multiphysics tutorial models: our online Model Gallery and the Model Library within the software.
