Introduction
This guide describes the Structural Mechanics Module, an optional add-on package that extends the COMSOL Multiphysics® modeling environment with customized physics interfaces that solve problems in the fields of structural and solid mechanics, including special physics interface for modeling of shells, membranes, beams, plates, trusses, wires, and pipes.
This chapter introduces you to the capabilities of this module and includes a summary of the physics interfaces as well as information about where you can find additional documentation and model examples. The last section is a brief overview with links to each chapter in this guide.
