COMSOL Multiphysics multiphysics simulation
is an engineering simulation software with multi-physics coupling and numerical discretization as its core.
What science makes it possible The
Partial differential equations, boundary conditions and material parameters form the problem definition. Grid errors and model errors need to be evaluated separately; beautiful cloud diagrams cannot replace convergence checks.
Understanding the product requires putting a single formula back into the system: input measurements, materials and boundary conditions are calculated by the model and then compared with actual data. Approximations at different scales cannot be unconditionally spliced, and relevant tools will indicate applicable conditions respectively.
Commercial applications and engineering boundaries
