System Requirements: Running COMSOL Applications
COMSOL applications can be run by connecting to COMSOL Server™ from a web browser or from the COMSOL Client for Windows®. The COMSOL Client for Windows® allows a user to run applications that require a LiveLink™ product for CAD. Running applications in a web browser does not require any installation or web browser plugins. Running an application in a web browser supports interactive graphics in 3D using WebGL™ technology. The system requirements for COMSOL Compiler™, and compiled applications, are identical to those for COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Web Browsers
Recent versions of the most popular web browsers support the WebGL™ standard for 3D graphics and WebSockets. The table below lists the earliest version of each browser that supports WebGL™ and WebSockets, but we recommend always using the latest version of the browser for the best user experience.
| Operating System | Browser | Recommended Version |
|---|---|---|
| Windows®/Linux®/macOS | Chrome™ | 31 or later |
| Windows® | Internet Explorer® | 11 or later |
| Windows® | Microsoft Edge® | 21 or later |
| Windows®/Linux®/macOS | Firefox® | 35 or later |
| macOS | Safari | 7.1 or later |
| macOS | Safari | 8.1 or later |
| Android™ | Android™ Browser | 37 or later |
| Android™ | Chrome™ | 40 or later |
COMSOL Client for Windows®
Running COMSOL applications with the COMSOL Client for the Windows® operating system utilizes Microsoft® Windows® components. This gives simulation applications a look-and-feel similar to applications running in the COMSOL Desktop® environment. In addition, many of the LiveLink™ products for CAD software can be used with the COMSOL Client.
