How to Build a Mesh in COMSOL Multiphysics®

Video Description

The mesh used for a geometry plays a significant role in how a model is computed. In the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, you can have the software automatically create a mesh or manually build a custom mesh yourself. Regardless of which type of mesh you choose to build, the software contains many tools and operations that simplify the process of mesh creation. In this video, we use three examples to demonstrate how to build a mesh for a model geometry. We also discuss the following topics: - How meshing plays an important role in a simulation - The different meshing sequence types available for you to use - The different element types available in the software - How to change the size, number, and distribution of elements in a mesh - Experimenting with different meshes for a model geometry - The importance of the element discretization order - Improving the quality of a mesh Chapter Selection 1:11 - Meshing Overview 3:13 - Physics-Controlled Mesh 4:27 - User-Controlled Mesh 6:37 - Meshing Sequence 8:03 - Element Types 9:16 - Element Size 16:10 - Element Distribution 18:43 - Multiple Meshes 19:29 - Element Order 21:15 - Mesh Quality 22:57 - Video Takeaways
