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.
COMSOL Multiphysics® with LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® delivers enhanced connectivity so you can efficiently integrate simulation into your design workflow. SOLIDWORKS® is a premier CAD solution for 3D design and product data management. When used together with multiphysics simulation, it provides a powerful tool for product design, evaluation and optimisation. Using LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS®, you can leverage the functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics to better understand how your SOLIDWORKS® design performs in its intended operating environment and accurately evaluate the impact of essentially any physical effects and their interactions.
LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® includes a bidirectional interface between the COMSOL Desktop® and SOLIDWORKS®. Through this interface, you can synchronise the CAD design with the COMSOL model, and, in the other direction, you can let your simulation control the design parameters in the SolidWorks file. This enables the optimising of CAD designs through simulations with automated parametric sweeps. Providing an even closer integration, the One Window Interface brings the familiar windows, tools, icons, and menu items from COMSOL Multiphysics and makes them available to set up and run simulations from within the SolidWorks user interface.
LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® enables synchronisation between your COMSOL model geometry and the corresponding SolidWorks CAD file. Through synchronisation, physics definitions and boundary conditions remain associated with their respective model domains even when a design has changed. Using the One Window Interface, synchronisation is automatic when a change in the design has been detected during switching between the SolidWorks design environment and the COMSOL simulation environment.
SolidWorks design parameters can be iteratively accessed by COMSOL Multiphysics, facilitating optimisation studies including parametric sweeps to evaluate the effect of properties such as the diameter of a hole or thickness of a component in your design. LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® ensures that design changes are propagated automatically eliminating the need to import and export your designs each time they are updated.
COMSOL model geometries created from an imported CAD geometry often require some manipulation to reduce the complexity of the mesh and improve the efficiency of the simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics. LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® provides functionality for geometry manipulation also available in the CAD Import Module. Important capabilities include the ability to automatically repair and defeature geometries.
During the import of a CAD geometry, anomalies that exist in a design are automatically detected and removed from the geometry. Healing is also performed to eliminate gaps so that a solid can be formed after the import. Tolerances can be specified for the file import to control the geometry repair process. The process works in very much the same way to defeature an imported design that contains many small, features such as fillets. LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® can detect small features that will produce a dense mesh and decrease the efficiency of your simulations. Features can be removed and repaired manually in SolidWorks or in the COMSOL environment.
Virtual geometry operations are available with COMSOL Multiphysics to provide yet another method to prevent fine design details from creating regions with dense meshes. By using this functionality, you create a virtual geometry for meshing where you exclude selected features of the CAD design. A distinct advantage is that the original curvature of the design is maintained, which may improve simulation accuracy for certain applications such as analysing stresses in structural contact.

LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® includes functionality to import, export, and even link CAD files with models in COMSOL Multiphysics. There are several options for saving files that facilitate sharing both SolidWorks designs and the associated COMSOL models with your colleagues. LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® features all of the functionality of the CAD Import Module plus enhanced connectivity including the One Window interface embedded within SolidWorks.
CAD files can be imported in the SOLIDWORKS format (.sldprt, .sldasm) and in the widely used IGES, STEP, ACIS®, and Parasolid® formats. In addition, you can import the native files of the Inventor®, and PTC® Creo® Parametric™ CAD systems. The optional File Import for CATIA® V5 provides support for importing the native file format for this system. Imported CAD geometries are converted to Parasolid® geometries using LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® permitting a range of geometry operations that prepare your designs for simulation. Parasolid geometries can be further modified in COMSOL Multiphysics to add larger domains surrounding the original CAD design to simulate external physical effects such as fluid flow. To share modified geometry from COMSOL Multiphysics just export to either the ACIS or Parasolid formats.
Note that not all file formats are supported on all operative systems, for details see System Requirements
