Comsol, Inc. the leading provider of software solutions for multiphysics modeling, simulation, app design and deployment, provided attendees with the latest updates of Comsol multiphysics® software, Comsol server™ product, and Comsol client at the 12th annual Comsol conference Munich. The latest update of the Comsol® software features major performance increases and the release of the Rotordynamics Module, which is now available as an add-on product to the Structural Mechanics Module.

Performance Improvements for the Handling of Large Models
The latest update of the Comsol® software provides significant performance improvements compared to versions made available a year ago. The speedup is most notable with respect to the handling of models with several thousand domains and boundaries. Comsol is committed to continue its strive to deliver the most efficient and robust multiphysics environment for its wide range of products for electrical, mechanical, acoustics, fluid, thermal, and chemical simulations.

The Future of Simulation: Application Design and Deployment
The Application Builder has enabled simulation specialists to create multiphysics apps, based on their detailed models, through custom interfaces that can be easily accessed via Comsol client or a web browser connecting to a local installation of Comsol server™. Custom applications can be created for anyone from technicians, support staff, designers, to customer service representatives, empowering them to make on-the-fly design iterations and report generation. With Comsol server™ organizations can deploy industry-specific analysis tools in a dynamic, streamlined, quick to implement format that can be scaled for global benefit.

Release of the Rotordynamics Module
The latest update of the Comsol® software product suite includes the new Rotordynamics Module, which will aid engineers in analyzing vibrations due to centrifugal forces and other gyroscopic effects in rotating machinery. This new product will be used to ensure that rotor vibrations are contained within acceptable design limits by providing functionality for evaluating critical speed, whirl, and bearings. This module will be of particular interest to those working with the design of turbines, turbochargers, electrical machinery, and pumps in the automobile, marine, aerospace, energy, and household appliance industries.
