New technology in numerical simulations

ASEE Prism, Sep 2001

Comsol, Inc. has introduced FEMLAB 2.1, the latest software package in the FEMLAB series. FEMLAB software specializes in modeling and analysis for virtual prototyping of physical phenomena. This version provides a new Chemical Engineering Module in addition to new features and functionalities including an advanced graphical user interface that supports post processing of integrals over domains and boundaries. Other features of FEMLAB 2.1 include associative geometries in the 3D solid modeler and powerful visualization capabilities such as transparency, which allows the user to see through surfaces. FEMLAB 2.1 and FEMLAB Chemical Engineering Module run under Windows 95/98/2000/ME, NT 4.0, Macintosh System 7.1.

FEMLAB can model virtually any physical phenomena an engineer or scientist can describe with partial differential equations including heat transfer, fluid flow, electromagnetics and structural mechanics. Specifically, FEMLAB supports the integration of problems from different fields.
