COMSOL has the best multiphysical simulation capabilities in my experience. Technical support from Elisa at TECHNIC as well as the engineers at COMSOL has been great.
COMSOL is an important part of our research in plasma physics. We use it in the design of plasma systems and it helps us to obtain a greater understanding of the underlying physics. We have always valued the quick support from TECHNIC and COMSOL and it has been a pleasure to work with them.
Comsol has become a valuable part of our design and decision making process. The exceptional flexibility and access to the physics and solvers in Comsol has allowed us to have deeper understanding on thermomechanical solutions. Technic and Comsol have always been quick and helpful to resolve any issues and provide helpful advice on their products.
At Scion we use COMSOL Multiphysics to understand energy processes, such as the interplay of non-linear solid mechanics and heat & mass transfer during biomass compaction, to design new or more efficient processes.
We use COMSOL Multiphysics to design the customised muffler. With it, we can simulate the insertion loss at different spectrum with different muffler designs.
LiveLink™ for Revit® provides an integration tool and interface for transferring geometry of elements from your architectural design projects in Autodesk® Revit® software to COMSOL Multiphysics® software.
Autodesk® Revit® is a leading software for architectural design that supports CAD design and Building Information Modelling (BIM) workflows. Through the LiveLink™ interface, you can generate the geometry for selected rooms and included architectural elements in a building. The selected rooms and elements are synchronised to the COMSOL Multiphysics model, where you can include any physical effects for an accurate simulation.
For an efficient model set-up, LiveLink™ for Revit® generates selections for the various elements. When applying modelling conditions or functionality to a specific element, you can simply select it by name via the interface. The selections also ensure that when changing your Autodesk® Revit® design, e.g. moving a wall, you will retain all of the settings on model domains and boundaries in COMSOL Multiphysics®
The architectural elements in Autodesk® Revit® can often contain many small geometrical features that may lead to less efficient meshing and simulation. In many instances, these features do not significantly contribute to the overall simulation and accuracy of the results, and can therefore be negated.
LiveLink™ for Revit® includes tools for manipulating your COMSOL Multiphysics® model geometry prior to simulation, so that you can choose which details to include. Geometry defeaturing capabilities are provided, which can automatically identify and delete slivers, small edges, faces, or fillets.
Architectural projects may also include elements such as furniture, which may not be defined as solid objects, but instead consist of only surfaces. To create a domain required for simulation of such elements requires converting the geometries into a solid, which can be done using the geometry tools in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Furthermore, LiveLink™ for Revit® provides a robust platform for modifying or creating geometries, where all geometry operations are performed using the Parasolid® software geometry kernel. Geometry operations in COMSOL Multiphysics® are also parametric, so you may combine geometry created in the COMSOL Multiphysics® model with geometry synchronised from Autodesk® Revit®.
Another method of preparing your designs for simulation is creating a virtual geometry. The COMSOL Multiphysics® virtual geometry operations enable you to select specific features in a COMSOL Multiphysics® model geometry that you do not want to include in your simulation studies. This technique does not modify the geometry, but hides the selected details from the meshing operation. It is an excellent way to exclude fine geometry details that typically require complex meshes and long computation times. An added benefit of this method is that the surface curvature of your design is preserved, resulting in simulations with even greater precision when needed.
LiveLink™ for Revit® provides the file handling capabilities available in the CAD Import Module, including options for file import and export.
File import capabilities offer complementing functionality to the concurrent use of Autodesk® Revit® and COMSOL Multiphysics® software for geometry synchronisation. COMSOL Multiphysics® model geometries can be created by importing a CAD design from a range of platforms and file formats.
3D CAD file formats that are supported for import into COMSOL Multiphysics® include the widely supported ACIS® software, Parasolid® software, STEP, and IGES formats, in addition to the Autodesk® AutoCAD® software, Autodesk® Inventor® software, NX™ software, SOLIDWORKS® software, PTC® Creo® Parametric™ software, and PTC® Pro/ENGINEER® software formats.
Support for the CATIA® V5 software file format is also available as a separate add-on module. Additionally, the LiveLink™ products provide support for file export in the ACIS® software and Parasolid® software formats so you can readily share your updated designs with your colleagues.
