Geometry Creation and Import With COMSOL Multiphysics

Description

An outline of this work is presented here—a road map of the journey. The chapters are designed so that they are most comprehensible if followed in the order the material is presented. In addition to dealing with the specifics of how geometry can be created for the purpose of engineering analysis, this work takes a wider outlook on the world of geometry, both of today and yesterday. It shows how the geometry is fundamental to nature and how it is interconnected with the world around us. The historical background provided shows the progression of the geometrical science from the dawn of civilization to the multiple specialized disciplines that the geometry has evolved into today. The world of geometry is a vast ocean and only a few drops of it are presented here. While the work touches upon the complex nature of geometry’s axioms and theorems, the presentation aims to be accessible to all technically minded readers. From the original conception, this publication was intended as a companion for the Author’s earlier work—Heat Transfer Modelling Using COMSOL: Slab to Radial Fin [1]. Thus, the contents of this publication are complementary to the earlier one, with minimum overlap between the two. This also means that most of the examples used in this work are the same as in the earlier one, providing the reader with opportunity to learn about model creation in this publication and to continue to learn about the analysis step by working with the earlier book.
