Comsol Applications.

Multiphysics: Multiple Scientific Models
1. Piezoelectricity.
2. Acoustics Structure Integration.
3. Fluid Structure Interaction.
4. Electromechanical Coupling.

Multi-turn Coil Domain in 3D.

Comsol is a proper solution in order to produce more productive and accurate simulation, due to less cost and facility to obtain new scientist discovery.

Multiphysics follows below conceptual fields:
1. Acoustics
2. User Defined Equations
3. Electromagnetic Field
4. Chemical Reactions
5. Structural Mechanics
6. Fluid Flow
7. Heat Transfer

Full-field Simulations with Circuit Simulations.

Optimization procedures to design modern workflows are becoming imperative. Comsol provides an environment to promote simulations for presenting operational conditions with the flexibility to test with different parameters and eventually optimize efficiency and performance. It also has the ability to integrate with different platforms such as CAD markets by the aid of Live Link.

It has ability for:
1. CAD design synchronization
2. Geometry repaired and defeaturing
3. parameter optimization

Live link is a tools to establishing connection between two applications, for an instance it can change features on the CAD model, and automatically update parameters in Comsol while retaining simulation settings.

There are characteristics in CAD model which are not important for Comsol simulation but they are detrimental for simulation process and should be removed or defeatured.

Live Link has facilities for repairing and defeaturing, such as automatic repair, or virtual operation that can hide small features by ignoring, collapsing or merging them. Comsol allows us to collaborate with other fields from mechanical, electrical, chemical. It also extents design work, optimizes programs based on simulation results. it also do augment design workflow with real world Multiphysics simulation.
