COMSOL Multiphysics® Reviews & Product Details

Engineers and scientists use the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to simulate designs, devices, and processes in all fields of engineering, manufacturing, and scientific research. COMSOL Multiphysics® is a simulation platform that provides fully coupled multiphysics and single-physics modeling capabilities. The Model Builder includes all of the steps in the modeling workflow — from defining geometries, material properties, and the physics that describe specific phenomena to performing computations and evaluating the results. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software brings a user interface and experience that is always the same, regardless of engineering application and physics phenomena. Add-on modules provide specialized functionality for electromagnetics, structural mechanics, acoustics, fluid flow, heat transfer, and chemical engineering. Choose from a list of LiveLink™ products to interface directly with CAD and other third-party software. Deploy simulation applications with COMSOL Compiler™ and COMSOL Server™.

"Review of COMSOL"

4/5

What do you like best about COMSOL Multiphysics®?

I like how powerful the software is. It can solve big and complicated geometries and provides a lot of flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about COMSOL Multiphysics®?

I don't like the results interface. The options for manipulation of data of simulation parameters is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering COMSOL Multiphysics®:

If the interface could be made more user friendly, it would be great. Right now COMOSOl is facing some competition in the electrical engineering community for plasmonics simulation from Lumerical solutions which uses FDTD and have been known to be having more user friendly interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is COMSOL Multiphysics® solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving 2D plasmonics problems using RF module. It uses FEM method which allows local mesh refinement which is great for nanostructures simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Console is a good platform to start CFD"

4/5

What do you like best about COMSOL Multiphysics®?

Console does understand the analysis prior to finalizing it. Thus you can see the equations and other features prior to selecting it. This gives an additional understanding of where the analysis is going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about COMSOL Multiphysics®?

The drawing tools could be more sophisticated for ease of drawing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best FEM Simulation Tool!"

5/5

What do you like best about COMSOL Multiphysics®?

The user interface is really simple. Makes it easier for non programmers to simulate complex multiphysics scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about COMSOL Multiphysics®?

Simulation time is ridiculously large! Need to implement parallelization algorithms to avoid such issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great FEA Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about COMSOL Multiphysics®?

COMSOL Multiphysics allows users to simulate real world scenario very easily. The LiveLink option with Solidworks makes it easy to analyze a design already created. A user can implement all the real world physics and get a good representation of what will occur in real life. All the tools are laid out to flow in terms of which conditions need to be prescribed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about COMSOL Multiphysics®?

I disliked the amount it took to run some of these simulations. Simulations became complex very fast. The graphic displays and plots can be laid out differently to make it more visually appealing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering COMSOL Multiphysics®:

COMSOL Multiphysics is a great tool if you want to quickly simulate a real world scenario. I would recommend first time users to read through and do a few tutorials on the subject. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is COMSOL Multiphysics® solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used this software program both as a student and in industry. I have done vibrational/solid mechanics simulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
