Excerpt: COMSOL Multiphysics is a finite element analysis, solver and Simulation software / FEA Software package for various physics and engineering applications, especially coupled phenomena, or multiphysics. COMSOL Multiphysics also offers an extensive interface to MATLAB and its toolboxes for a large variety of programming, preprocessing and postprocessing possibilities. The packages are cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux). In addition to conventional physics-based user interfaces, COMSOL Multiphysics also allows for entering coupled systems of partial differential equations (PDEs). The PDEs can be entered directly or using the so-called weak form (see finite element method for a description of weak formulation). An early version (before 2005) of COMSOL Multiphysics was called FEMLAB. COMSOL was started by graduate students to Germund Dahlquist based on code developed for a graduate course at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. Several add-on products are available for COMSOL Multiphysics: For simulation of capacitors, inductors, power cables, electrical motors, electrical generators, and sensors. Electrostatics, direct current, electro-quasistatic approximation, magneto-quasistatic approximation, and electromagnetic four-potential user interfaces are included. Combinations with CFD, thermal, acoustic, and structural analysis are common. SPICE circuit import available for connecting Finite element method model with circuits. Contains built-in user interfaces and boundary settings for the modeling of acoustic propagation in solids and stationary fluids. Also models aeroacoustic applications in moving fluids. Later additions include thermoacoustics, poroelastic waves, and acoustic-structure interactions (vibroacoustics). Couplings to electrical circuits is also possible. Applications include simulation of speakers, microphones, hearing aids, vibrating industrial equipment, seismology, and mufflers. Electrochemical, heat, and flow simulation of ele
