COMSOL, a provider of easy-to-use software solutions to engineering problems, has introduced its latest COMSOL Multiphysics version 6.2. The newly launched software facilitates functionality for simulation apps and digital twins as well as faster solver technology. Users can benefit from the increased computational speed of their simulation apps using data-driven surrogate models, leading to a more interactive user experience and promoting wider use of simulations within an organization. Furthermore, the new surrogate model framework makes it possible to build new types of standalone simulation apps and effective digital twins.
Multiphysics simulations of electric machinery with nonlinear materials as well as impulse response simulations for acoustics are faster by an order of magnitude or more. CFD models now solve up to 40% faster. In chemical engineering applications, the new version includes functionality for the simulation of vapor–liquid interfaces, including both condensation and vaporization processes. Users of the structural-mechanics-based products will see updated damage and fracture modeling capabilities, along with functionality for circuit board warpage computation and multibody dynamics analysis of electric motors.
