COMSOL has the best multiphysical simulation capabilities in my experience. Technical support from Elisa at TECHNIC as well as the engineers at COMSOL has been great.
COMSOL is an important part of our research in plasma physics. We use it in the design of plasma systems and it helps us to obtain a greater understanding of the underlying physics. We have always valued the quick support from TECHNIC and COMSOL and it has been a pleasure to work with them.
Comsol has become a valuable part of our design and decision making process. The exceptional flexibility and access to the physics and solvers in Comsol has allowed us to have deeper understanding on thermomechanical solutions. Technic and Comsol have always been quick and helpful to resolve any issues and provide helpful advice on their products.
At Scion we use COMSOL Multiphysics to understand energy processes, such as the interplay of non-linear solid mechanics and heat & mass transfer during biomass compaction, to design new or more efficient processes.
We use COMSOL Multiphysics to design the customised muffler. With it, we can simulate the insertion loss at different spectrum with different muffler designs.
The development of MEMS devices, integrated circuits (ICs or chips), and printed circuit boards (PCBs) requires greater and greater accuracy in predicting device characteristics and performance, even before manufacturing a prototype. Ever diminishing component sizes demand simulations that incorporate the interactions of several physical phenomena. Using the ECAD Import Module, you can import your ECAD files into COMSOL Multiphysics and convert the 2D layouts into 3D geometry that is suitable for simulation. This opens up a world of simulations, including, among other applications, the electromagnetic, thermal, and structural behavior of these components and devices.
The formats for transferring ECAD data contain the layouts of each layer that makes up a device, whether this is a chip or PCB. The ECAD Import Module will recognise the geometrical shapes on these layouts and construct plane geometry objects that can be extruded according to the layer stack-up information found in the file or provided during import. For MEMS and IC simulation needs, the ECAD Import Module supports the GDSII format. For developing PCBs, the IPC-2581 and ODB++.
The layout of a planar transformer has been imported from an ECAD file and converted to a 3D geometry model. Shown is the electric potential on its surface.
Depending on the file format, the import functionality provides options for configuring the cells or nets that should be used for geometry construction. You can also exclude layers, edit layer thicknesses and elevations, decide how bond wires should be represented in the final geometry, and even fine-tune the parameters for arc recognition. For a faster set-up of the import process, it is possible to load the layer configuration information from a text file. To further shorten the time spent on setting up simulations, you can configure the import to automatically create selections for each layer. These selections are then available when you are assigning physics settings to domains and boundaries.
The 3D geometry objects constructed from the ECAD layouts can be further modified using available features in COMSOL Multiphysics. When combined with the CAD Import Module, Design Module, or one of the LiveLink™ products, the 3D geometry can be exported to the IGES, STEP, ACIS® or Parasolid® file formats for use in other software.
