PDE Toolbox — Full FEA Workflow

End-to-end finite element analysis: geometry → model setup → solve → post-process. Uses the modern femodel workflow (R2025a+).

When to Use

• Building geometry from primitives (multicuboid, multicylinder, multisphere), STL/STEP import, or 2-D decsg
• Setting up femodel with boundary conditions, loads, materials, and initial conditions
• Solving thermal, structural, or electromagnetic problems (steady, transient, modal, frequency, conduction)
• Post-processing FE results: interpolation, derived quantities, visualization

When Not to Use

• General-equation PDE (createpde(N)) — that legacy workflow is not covered here
• System-level simulation (Simulink/Simscape) — use product-specific skills
• Mesh-only tasks with no PDE solve (e.g., surface meshing for visualization)
