New Lunch Tutorial Shows How to Model Particle Tracing in Flow

News | Posted on April 20th, 2012 by

The manager of our Palo Alto Office, John Dunec, has been running some lunch tutorials that show the building of models. His latest one, which was presented last Tuesday, showed how flow in a building can be modeled.

New Video on Chemical Engineering

News | Posted on April 19th, 2012 by

One project that has been really exciting to work with is a resource CD for our users and prospects. Called the Chemical Showcase, we will soon be offering this to engineers and scientists who are interested in modeling, and want to apply this to chemical engineering, battery, fuel cell, reactor and electrochemical applications. One of the fun things about producing the Showcase was recording this nifty chemical engineering video…

FEM vs FVM on the Web

News | Posted on February 3rd, 2012 by

I noticed a lot of activity when I posted the question concerning “FEM vs FVM” in a previous blog post, so I started looking into it a bit. A lot of people went to the COMSOL Discussion Forum thread on the matter, from the blog, which got me thinking that this must be a hot topic out there.

How disappointed I was when I typed ‘FEM vs FVM’ into Google and saw that there wasn’t much to sink your teeth into. My blog post ranked pretty highly, which explains how little this has been debated.

Recap of the Particle Tracing Module Webinar

News | Posted on January 18th, 2012 by

The Particle Tracing Module webinar was a huge success. Over 1,250 people signed up for it and saw our lead developer, Dan Smith, demonstrate the product and explain the science behind it. He received a lot of questions during the webinar, and our support engineers are currently helping him answer them.

See the Particle Tracing Module in Action

News | Posted on January 10th, 2012 by

The release of Version 4.2a was an exciting event for us at COMSOL. I had the opportunity to see a preview of new products and the big one for me was the Particle Tracing Module. Many of our customers and colleagues in the simulation industry had been requesting this for quite some time. I must admit that I thought it was just because they wanted a different type of postprocessing feature; another way of looking at streamlines.

Osynlighetsmantlar görs nog av metamaterial

Video | Posted on September 16th, 2011 by

Alla har vi väl velat bli osynliga vid ett eller annat tillfälle. Som Dagens Nyheter och Ny Teknik nyligen rapporterade om har vi på COMSOL dragit vårt strå till stacken. Forskare använder COMSOL Multiphysics för att simulera och designa avancerade metamaterial. Redan idag finns det högeffektiva antenner och i framtiden går det kanske att skapa akustiska mantlar, båtskrov med lägre vattenmotstånd eller osynlighetsmantlar. Det lär nog dröja ett tag innan en hel människa försvinner in i mörkret bakom en osynlighetsmantel (man kan tyvärr inte se ut bakom en verklig sådan). I väntan på det har vi gjort en liten video som förklarar.

COMSOL LiveLink for SpaceClaim Video

Video | Posted on July 12th, 2011 by




The LiveLink™ for SpaceClaim® interface allows you to transfer a 3D geometry CAD model from SpaceClaim® to COMSOL Multiphysics. Updates to the model will synchronize seemlessly between SpaceClaim® and COMSOL Multiphysics. This brings you the fusion of direct modeling with multiphysics simulation in a tightly integrated environment, enabling optimal designs and collaboration across CAD and CAE teams.
