COMSOL

The capabilities of modeling polymer flow and high-accuracy fluid models have been expanded, among others. COMSOL, provider of software solutions for multiphysics modeling, simulation, and application design and deployment, has released version 5.6 of the Comsol multiphysics® software. The new version features faster and more memory-lean solvers for multicore and cluster computations, more efficient CAD assembly handling, and application layout templates. A range of new graphics features — including clip planes, realistic material rendering, and partial transparency — offer enhanced visualization for simulation results. Four new products expand the capabilities of Comsol multiphysics for modeling fuel cells and electrolyzers, polymer flow, control systems, and high-accuracy fluid models. Faster and More Memory-Efficient Solvers Solver performance has greatly improved in version 5.6, to the benefit of COMSOL® users working with large models that have millions of degrees of freedom. "In version 5.6, we have made general improvements to both the algebraic multigrid…
