Users handling large CFD models will benefit from the new algebraic multigrid (AMG) solver implemented in version 5.3. Typical uses for this functionality include the modeling of electrical cathodic protection, cables, or capacitive sensors. The Boundary Element method enables users to simulate models with infinite domains and voids, as well as to quickly set up simulations that combine wires, beams, surfaces, and solids in the same model. "This means that users can easily combine boundary element and finite element methods for greater flexibility in their multiphysics simulations", continues Littmarck. With COMSOL version 5.3 the boundary element method (BEM) is now available for modeling electrostatics and corrosion effects. Our users will find great value in new solvers, the new physics interfaces, and the many enhancements throughout COMSOL software, from model creation to deployment of apps", comments Svante Littmarck, President and CEO, COMSOL.Īpart from the always important performance improvements, highlights of new features and tools available in Version 5.3 include new physics for Thermoviscous Acoustics, Transient, and Poroelastic Waves, new particle tracing options and much more. "Version 5.3 is a result of our continued focus on delivering highly capable mathematical modeling tools. In many cases, users will experience a speedup of ten times or more in software responsiveness, such as in preprocessing tasks for handling models with several thousand boundaries and domains. There are hundreds of new and exciting features in the new COMSOL software for electromagnetics, structural, acoustics, fluid, heat, and chemical simulations.
