Yes it is possible. Functionally Graded Materials have a material composition that changes gradually with volume. You can do that in COMSOL by specifying the material properties, such as Young’s modulus, to be a function of the spatial coordinates.

Dear All,
I want to know how to model FGM in COMSOL 4.2.
Please help me in this case because I am new in COMSOL.
Regards.

Hi, i want to know how modelling young modulus as a function in one dimension for example ,,z" based on FGM material?

In the material definition instead of specifying Young’s modulus as a constant make it a function of Z, for example 100+10*Z

I am new to comsol. I want to solve a problem of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) with sigmoid law. I want the variation of properties should be continuous within a geometry, i do not want variation in layers means problem is converted into several layers. Each layer has a constant properties but they are different from another layer and the difference is maintained by variation of properties by sigmoid law, than layers glue together and then solve, I do not want this which was happened in other FE softwares. Does comsol solve the problem in which properties vary continuously in a geometry, i do not want a stepwise variation?

Hi. thank you for answer, but how am i defining variable Z which are my thickness of beam in boundary Z belong to [-0.5;0.5]?

Please help me defining variable z (thickness of beam belong (-0.5, 0.5)) and z is variable material properties along the thickness E(z)= (z+0.5)^n
