*News in COMSOL Multiphysics*
- Application Builder: Provides you with an automated way to build a powerful yet simplified interface for any COMSOL model, which can then be shared with your colleagues and customers. Included with the Windows(R) version of COMSOL Multiphysics 5.0, the Application Builder provides all the tools needed to build and run simulation applications.
*News in add-on products*
- Drastically improved handling of large arrays and CAD assemblies where hanging nodes are allowed.
- The Multiphysics node, introduced in COMSOL 4.4, has been greatly expanded to cover additional multiphysics couplings.
- Mechanical: Model geometrically nonlinear beams, nonlinear elastic materials, and elasticity in joints using the products for modeling structural mechanics. In the Heat Transfer Module, thin layer, film, fracture, and rod as well as cryogenic damage and parallelized radiation have been added. The Acoustics Module has two new methods for modeling high frequency or geometrical acoustics (Ray Acoustics and Acoustic Diffusion Equation).
- Electrical: The AC/DC Module, RF Module, and Wave Optics Module now contain a frequency- and material-controlled auto mesh suggestion that offers the easy, one-click meshing of infinite elements and periodic conditions. The Plasma Module now contains interfaces for modeling equilibrium discharges.
- Fluid: Create automatic pipe connections to 3D flow domains in the Pipe Flow Module. The CFD Module is expanded with two new algebraic turbulence models, as well as turbulent fans and grilles.
- Chemical: The Chemical Reaction Engineering Module now contains a new Chemistry interface that can be used as a Material node for chemical reactions.
*New products*
- Ray Optics Module: Industry-leading simulation tool for analyzing systems in which the electromagnetic wavelength is smaller than the smallest geometric detail in the model. Includes the ability to compute the trajectory of rays in graded and ungraded media, and the modeling of polychromatic, unpolarized, and partially coherent light.
- Design Module: Expands the available toolset of CAD functionalities in the COMSOL product suite. The module includes the following 3D CAD operations: loft, fillet, chamfer, midsurface, and thicken, in addition to CAD import and geometry repair functionality.
- LiveLink(TM) for Revit(R): Allows COMSOL users to interface with the building information modeling software from Autodesk(R) and seamlessly synchronize a geometry between Autodesk(R) Revit(R) Architecture and COMSOL, allowing multiphysics simulations to be brought into the architectural design workflow.
