This COMSOL Day @ University of Santa Tomas (UST) will consist of a series of talks and fundamental multiphysics modelling hands-on tutorial that are applicable to various engineering fields, such as Structural Mechanics, Electromagetics, Fluid & Heat and Chemical Engineering. The hands-on portion of the event will allow attendees to test drive the software by building a model from scratch, allowing each person to leave with the ability to experiment with their own simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics.

 

This free one-day event is open to anyone who wants to learn about multiphysics modeling and how it can be used for research, teaching and product designs.
