Workhorse multiphysics tool gets upgrades

Engineers are now able to design with far higher precision, making materials thinner and lighter without sacrificing quality and durability. But as they press the limits of technology, engineers must often examine and understand subtle factors that might have been negligible in the past.

Often, these considerations involve multiple disciplines, which can make it difficult to see how changes in one technology will impact performance in other areas. COMSOL is finalizing a major upgrade of its Multiphysics multidisciplinary software tool, which let users see how changes in one field of physics impact other fields.
