Natalie Omahony
COMSOL, Inc., Burlington, MA, released the newest version of its Multiphysics, Version 4.4, featuring several new innovations, including a new ribbon design for easier navigation; added multiphysics coupling capa bility; a mixer module to analyze stirred mixers and reactors; and new functionalities for electrical, mechanical, fluid, and chemical application areas.
To find out more about the expertise required to establish a safe and effective EO Sterilization for medical devices, MDB recently spoke with Elizabeth Sydnor, director of microbiology for Eurofins Medical Device Testing (Lancaster, PA).
COMSOL, the maker of the COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software, has opened registration for COMSOL Day: Version 6.0, a series of online events held around the world for the computer-aided engineering (CAE) market. Starting on January 27, there will be four events to introduce COMSOL Multiphysics version 6.0 to a global, multiphysics simulation community of innovators and managers in research and product development.
These events showcase how new simulation and collaboration tools introduced with COMSOL version 6.0 will advance simulation-driven product development. Speakers from COMSOL will present major news and offer a closer look at new functionality in version 6.0, such as the Model Manager, a new simulation data-management workspace in COMSOL Multiphysics.
Participation from any region at any of the events is welcomed. Please note that the sessions hosted by the COMSOL offices in the U.S., Sweden and India will be conducted in English, while the event hosted by the office in China will be in Chinese.

It also features high-performance multiphysics solvers for the analysis of electric motors, up to 40% faster turbulent CFD simulations and an order of magnitude faster impulse response calculations for room and cabin acoustics. Additionally, it is now up to 7 times faster to perform boundary element analysis (BEM) for acoustics and electromagnetics when running on clusters.
Surrogate models deliver accurate simulation results much faster than the full-fledged finite element models that they approximate. When used in simulation apps, this leads to near-instantaneous results, providing app users with an improved interactive experience. In addition, surrogate models are useful for digital twins, where fast and frequent updates of simulation results are often necessary.
The latest software version also introduces the ability to make simulation apps with automated updates through timer events, which is especially useful when creating digital twins or IoT-connected simulation apps.
"Surrogate models significantly strengthen the app-building capabilities in COMSOL Multiphysics, and open up new possibilities to our users," says Lars Langemyr, chief scientist at COMSOL. "They can now create effective digital twins and build interactive, computationally fast and accurate standalone apps."
Version 6.2 expands the capabilities for efficient simulation of electric motors as well as for transformers and other electric machinery through a time periodic solver, available in the AC/DC Module. It also enables multiphysics motor analysis involving acoustics, structural mechanics, multibody dynamics and heat transfer, and makes it possible to run optimisation studies to find new motor designs.
"The new solving method makes an important class of electric motor simulations several orders of magnitude faster," says Durk de Vries, technical product manager for the AC/DC Module at COMSOL. "It allows for efficient analysis of multiphysics phenomena that were previously out of reach. This is pivotal for electric motor design optimisation, where a balance between structural, thermal and electromagnetic objectives is essential."

Predefined multiphysics-application templates solve many common problem types. You have the option of choosing different physics from the Multiphysics menu and defining the interdependencies yourself. Or you can specify your own partial differential equations (PDEs) and couple them with other equations and physics.
COMSOL Multiphysics is integrated with MATLAB via the LiveLink for MATLAB, which lets you generate a MATLAB file version of a simulation built with COMSOL Multiphysics. You can modify the model MATLAB file, extend it with MATLAB code, and run it from MATLAB.
In addition, COMSOL Multiphysics is integrated with Simulink via the LiveLink for Simulink, which lets you cosimulate using FMU files for use in a Simulink diagram, export state-space models from COMSOL to Simulink, or pass sweep and curve data for use by interpolation tables in Simulink.
