COMSOL 6.4 - The Polymer Flow Module Physics Interface Guide

The Polymer Flow Module Physics Interface Guide

The Polymer Flow 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 Polymer Flow Module are listed in the table. The functionality of the COMSOL Multiphysics base package is described in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual.
