COMSOL 6.4 - The Particle Tracing Module Physics Interface Guide

The Particle Tracing Module Physics Interface Guide

The Particle Tracing Module extends the functionality of the physics interfaces of the base package for COMSOL Multiphysics. The details of the physics interfaces and study types for the Particle Tracing Module are listed in the table. The functionality of the COMSOL Multiphysics base package is given in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual.

Common Physics Interface and Feature Settings and Nodes

There are several common settings and sections available for the physics interfaces and feature nodes. Some of these sections also have similar settings or are implemented in the same way no matter the physics interface or feature being used. There are also some physics feature nodes that display in COMSOL Multiphysics.

In each module’s documentation, only unique or extra information is included; standard information and procedures are centralized in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual.


	In the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual see Table 2-4 for links to common sections and Table 2-5 to common feature nodes. You can also search for information: press F1 to open the Help window or Ctrl+F1 to open the Documentation window.
