With LiveLink for Revit, users can seamlessly synchronise a geometry between Autodesk Revit Architecture and COMSOL, allowing multiphysics simulations to be brought into the architectural design workflow. The module includes the following 3D CAD operations: loft, fillet, chamfer, midsurface, and thicken, in addition to CAD import and geometry repair functionality.Īdditionally, COMSOL is proud to offer LiveLink for Revit, which allows COMSOL users to interface with the building information modelling software from Autodesk. The Design Module expands the available toolset of CAD functionalities in the COMSOL product suite.
‘For the first time, multiphysics simulations can now be integrated into the modelling of geometrical optics, a truly cutting-edge development for the simulation industry.’ Key features of the module include the ability to compute the trajectory of rays in graded and ungraded media, and the modelling of polychromatic, unpolarised and partially coherent light. ‘The Ray Optics Module is not like any other simulation software available for modelling ray optics,’ says Dan Smith, COMSOL software developer. ‘The Ray Optics Module offers functionality that has long been anticipated by COMSOL users, and we are excited to offer the module with this release,’ says Bjorn Sjodin, VP of Product Management at COMSOL.įor engineers working in application areas including building science, solar energy, and interferometers, the Ray Optics Module is an industry-leading simulation tool for analysing systems in which the electromagnetic wavelength is much smaller than the smallest geometric detail in the model. This is achieved by supplying those involved in the design and manufacturing process across all engineering disciplines with apps created by simulation experts.’ĬOMSOL users currently on subscription can download COMSOL Multiphysics 5.0, which includes the Application Builder in the Windows OS version, at: COMSOL Multiphysics 5.0 also brings three new add-on products to the extensive COMSOL product suite: the Ray Optics Module, the Design Module, and LiveLink for Revit. ‘It brings the expertise of engineering specialists working in research and development to a greater majority of people, revolutionising the product design process by allowing the power of multiphysics simulation to drive productivity and innovation. Ĭontact you experience any difficulty with installation and are a currentįaculty member, staff member, or student of San Diego State University.‘The Application Builder is our vision for the future of simulation,’ says Svante Littmarck, CEO and President of the COMSOL Group.
