Learn How to Use COMSOL Multiphysics^® at Your Own Pace

Materials / Using Built-In Materials

Use predefined materials from software in model. Duration: 2:14

The COMSOL Multiphysics^® software contains several predefined materials, grouped by application area, that you can add to your simulation. Watch the video to learn how to add your materials through the Add Materials window or the Material Browser. We also show you how to select the parts of your geometry that the material is assigned to and make further changes to the material properties and appearance.
