Comsol Inc has introduced the Comsol Multiphysics software version 5.0, featuring extensive product updates, three new add-on products, and the new and revolutionary Application Builder.
The Application Builder empowers the design process by allowing engineers to make available an easy-to-use application based on their Multiphysics model. Included with the Windows operating system version of Multiphysics 5.0, the Application Builder provides all the tools needed to build and run simulation apps. Any Comsol Multiphysics model can be turned into an application with its own interface using the tools provided with the Application Builder desktop environment.
Using the Form Editor, the user interface layout can be designed, while the Methods Editor is used for implementing customized commands. Based on the project at hand, engineering experts can now easily build a specialized application to share with their colleagues and customers that includes only the parameters relevant to the design of a specific device or product.
“The Application Builder is our vision for the future of simulation,” says Svante Littmarck, CEO and president of the COMSOL Group. “It brings the expertise of engineering specialists working in research and development to a greater majority of people, revolutionizing the product design process by allowing the power of multiphysics simulation to drive productivity and innovation. This is achieved by supplying those involved in the design and manufacturing process across all engineering disciplines with apps created by simulation experts.”
“The Application Builder is the biggest innovation yet to come from Comsol,” says Massimo Bechis, Modeling and Simulation Specialist at Prysmian. “We estimate that by building applications for our colleagues, we would save 30-40 percent of the time we currently spend on calculations for them. This will improve both the way we work, and the way our colleagues work as well.”
