Revolutionary method for plasma simulations, BEM for magnetic field analysisĪ revolutionary new method for modelling capacitively coupled plasmas (CCP), based on a non-linear time-periodic formulation, reduces solution times of CCP simulations from weeks to hours. A predefined multiphysics coupling has been introduced for the modelling of heat and moisture transport in building materials and moist air. There is a new realisable k-e turbulence model available for a more accurate description of fluid flow features. The dramatic increase in usability also includes the use of external thermodynamic property packages that may link through standard formats to COMSOL Multiphysics,” comments Ed Fontes, CTO, COMSOL. “The built-in thermodynamic and transport properties feature allows for a rapid, accurate, and user-friendly model definition of fluid flow, heat transfer, and reacting flow models. Thermodynamics properties library, new turbulence model, and moisture flow multiphysics couplingĬhemical engineers will benefit from the built-in library for thermodynamics properties, which features models for gases, liquids, and phase equilibria (gas-liquids). The colour table Cividis, optimised for people with colour vision deficiency, is now available for visualisation of field quantities. Support for 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse devices makes model navigation easier. Many customers, especially those involved with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, will experience up to 40% improved performance for algebraic multigrid (AMG) and 20% for geometric multigrid (GMG) solvers.
Customers using LiveLink for MATLAB can get access to reduced models through a dedicated state-space export function. New modelling tools, faster solvers, better visualisationĪ framework for model reduction is available with the release of two methods, modal analysis and asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE), for the reduction of the computational complexity of mathematical models.

The possibility of coupling BEM to FEM creates a highly versatile simulation environment for the automotive audio industry.” Acoustic engineers will get unprecedented modelling power by being able to analyse the full range of acoustic frequencies from the lowest bass notes to ultrasound, in addition to all of the possible multiphysics couplings available in the software. “We are pleased with the full range of methods available in COMSOL, from FEM and BEM, to ray tracing. “The recent addition of the boundary element method in COMSOL Multiphysics will enable us to model large acoustical radiation problems, such as, exterior sound reproduction for electric cars” comments Martin Olsen, Principal Engineer, Research, at Harman Lifestyle Audio. Hybrid boundary element-finite element method for acousticsĬOMSOL 5.3a offers acoustics analysis based on the boundary element method.
This exciting release is a result of a big focus on quality and major advances in new powerful modelling methods, increased speed, and user-driven enhancements,” says Svante Littmarck, President and CEO, COMSOL, Inc. With the multiphysics modelling capabilities of our software, they can create innovative products faster and at a lower cost than ever before.
“Our customers strive for a highly efficient product development cycle. From shape memory alloy (SMA) material models to a revolutionary method for capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) simulations and a hybrid boundary element-finite element (BEM-FEM) method for acoustics and acoustic-structure interaction, customers across all industries and physics areas will benefit from new methods and reduced solution times. Version 5.3a provides simulation specialists with cutting-edge modelling tools and increased solver performance.
