System-Level Modeling and Agentic AI Take the Spotlight in COMSOL Multiphysics® Version 2027

Article content

An agent can build and/or modify a model, run simulations, inspect results, and use those results to decide what to do next. Throughout the process, the user can review and refine the work in the COMSOL Desktop® environment.

New Electric Motor Module

Article content

The new Electric Motor Module provides a streamlined environment for modeling electric motors and generators in COMSOL Multiphysics. Dedicated functionality makes it easier to evaluate performance, operating ranges, losses, material effects, excitation circuits, and faults in both 2D and 3D, as well as to optimize machine designs for improved performance, efficiency, and material utilization.

Article content

The module provides enhanced capabilities for coupling electric machine models with heat transfer, structural mechanics, acoustics, fluid flow, and electrical circuits. This specialized multiphysics functionality makes it possible to more efficiently and accurately look beyond electromagnetics alone and understand how different physical effects influence overall performance.

Increased Access to the Application Builder

Article content

The Application Builder will now also be available on macOS and Linux® with version 2027, enabling more users to build customized simulation tools.

Article content

First introduced in 2014, the Application Builder enables simulation experts to turn detailed multiphysics models into easy-to-use simulation apps with interfaces tailored to a specific task or audience. By asking for the relevant inputs, outputs, and settings only, these apps make it possible for colleagues or customers with little or no simulation experience to run analyses and make physics-informed decisions in the office, in the field, or on the factory floor, extending the value of simulation throughout R&D. Simulation apps can also serve as customized interfaces for digital twin solutions.
