Model Wizard
The first step to build a model is to open COMSOL and then specify the type of analysis you want to do — in this case, a stationary, solid mechanics analysis.
Note:
These instructions are for Windows users but apply with minor differences also to Linux and Mac.
1
To start the software, double-click the COMSOL icon on the desktop. When the software opens, you can choose to use the Model Wizard to create a new COMSOL model or a Blank Model to create one manually.
For this tutorial, click the Model Wizard button.
If COMSOL is already open, you can start the Model Wizard by selecting New
from the File menu and then click Model Wizard
.
The Model Wizard guides you through the first steps of setting up a model. The next window lets you select the dimension of the modeling space.
