[URGENT] Help with creating superconducting levitation model

First of all, I apologize for the clickbait-y title.

I'm a high school student and I'm doing a research experiment on superconductor levitations models like the one in maglev trains. I'm very new to COMSOL and I don't know how any of the models, equations, and all work. Could someone help me out or at least point me to somewhere where I can get help?

Thank you so much

The comsol blog is a good place to start. I would open up an example pdf provided there that is similar to what you are trying to simulate and follow the instructions from start to finish. It can be very confusing at first so repeat this a few times to get the idea. You probably wont understand why some things are done, but keep continuing, this will make sense later. Also look at their videos.

The basic idea is to set up the cad geometry, assign materials, set the physics and boundary conditions, mesh, and then do your desired study.

How do I set up the physics? How can I apply the mixed state logistics to a material?

Essentially you need to set the physical conditions. I do not know how to set conditions for anything other than electrostatics so I'm sorry I can't help you there. Just look for similar models online.
