Comsol, a global provider of simulation software for design and research in companies, research laboratories and universities, announces the release of the latest version of its Comsol Multiphysics software.
Version 5.5 of the Design Module features an all-new drawing tool to facilitate the creation and parametric control of geometric models.
New solvers for acoustic simulations and updates to existing ones speed up calculations in many areas. For example, a new feature, based on the discontinuous Galerkin method in explicit time analysis, calculates ultrasound propagation in solids and fluids, with realistic materials including damping and anisotropy.
Thanks to the new version of Comsol Compiler, which creates and compiles stand-alone applications of minimal size, it is now much easier to distribute simulation applications. An application file can be a few MB in size.
New features in existing modules include improved interfaces for shape and topological optimization, nonlinear shells, random vibrations, fast linear elastic wave simulations and the coupling between wave propagation and geometric optics.
Two new products have also been added to the software suite's range of applications. The new Metal Processing module studies the transformation of metal phases in Comsol Multiphysics for applications such as welding, heat treatment and additive manufacturing for metals.
The new Porous Media Flow module offers users in the food, pharmaceutical and biomedical industries a wide range of transport analysis capabilities for porous media. This new product includes features for single-phase and multi-phase flow in porous media, drying and transport in fractured porous media.
