Multiphysics accelerates CAD import 01/04/2007
 
The latest version of COMSOL’s multiphysics simulation environment (3.3a) now runs on Microsoft’s Vista operating system as well as on Intel-based Macs.

A new material library simplifies the specification of properties for more than 2500 materials while a CHEMKIN file-import facility makes it possible to read data in a format standard in the chemical industry for gas-phase reactions, combustion and atmospheric chemistry. Finally, all-new repair and defeaturing functions allowing users to model complex designs faster than ever.

Being able to create a simulation that mirrors reality depends not only on accurate geometries and physics but also the specification of real-world materials. Rather than expecting users to enter the massive amounts of data necessary to specify materials, the Material Library automates the process.
