COMSOL Multiphysics 4.0

COMSOL Multiphysics – modeling package,
which solves the system of nonlinear differential equations in partial
derivatives of the finite element method in one, two and three
dimensions. It can meet the challenges of the field of
electromagnetism, elasticity, fluid dynamics and gas dynamics. COMSOL
also provides an opportunity to solve the problem as a mathematical
formulation (in the form of equations) and physical (the choice of
physical models, eg models of the diffusion process). Certainly, in any
case will be solved system of equations, and the difference lies only
in the possibility of using the physical system of units and physical
terminology. The so-called physical mode, you can also use pre-defined
equations for the majority of the phenomena taking place in science and
technology, such as the transfer of heat and electricity, the theory of
elasticity, diffusion, wave propagation and fluid flow.

Framework for modeling is greatly enhanced with a software module
COMSOL , which, although usually integrated with COMSOL
Multiphysics (included in standard delivery), but can also operate as a
standalone package. COMSOL – a language interpreter, which
includes more than 600 commands for numeric computations and
visualization in the command line mode. It allows you to create
different s (procedures, written in text format). Save the
template, made in COMSOL , can be a special model file (M-file),
the interface can be used from COMSOL . With ing, users can
perform interactive parametric studies and optimization, as well as
modeling. Thus, the graphics capabilities of the program COMSOL
set new standards for packages in this category, and special tools
allow you to quickly create graphical user interfaces.

In addition, COMSOL Multiphysics can also interact with the software package MATLAB.
