Overview of the User’s Guide
The Electrodeposition Module User’s Guide gets you started with modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics. The information in this guide is specific to this module. Instructions how to use COMSOL in general are included with the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual.
As detailed in the section Where Do I Access the Documentation and Application Libraries? this information can also be searched from the COMSOL Multiphysics software Help menu.
