Working and researching with COMSOL Multiphysics
The ability to define and couple any number of arbitrary, nonlinear PDEs makes COMSOL Multiphysics a unique tool for sophisticated modeling of cutting-edge applications. Its features and a range of other tools make it the perfect tool for today’s and tomorrow’s scientific research needs. Among them are:

Modeling workflow: Temperature distribution in superconducting transition edge sensor.
- Unlimited multiphysics couplings—Any number of PDEs can be automatically coupled with any others in COMSOL Multiphysics, irrespective of the application area. This makes the product ideal for simulating cross-disciplinary applications or traditional engineering fields affected by other physics
- Equation-based modeling—The equations encompassed by the standard modeling interfaces can be manipulated to the researcher’s needs. Algebraic equations, ODEs, PDEs, or even subroutines can be included to describe material properties, source terms, or extra terms in the underlying equations
- Expand horizons—COMSOL Multiphysics models can be accessed as a script and then manipulated, run, and controlled from the MATLAB® command line. Through this avenue, a researcher’s models are available to be integrated with other simulation tools and techniques.
- COMSOL Conference Proceedings—Two years’ of COMSOL User Conferences have been run at 25 locations, all with presented technical papers. The proceedings from these, with more than 500 contributions from all areas of science and engineering, are available in two searchable CDs that provide background information for future modeling-based research
