Request InfoCOMSOL Inc.Comsol has introduced version 3.3a of its multiphysics simulation software. The entire suite now runs on Microsoft Vista and on Intel-based Mac operating systems. A new material library simplifies specification of properties for more than 2500 materials, supplying functions for 24 key properties such as thermal, elastic and electrical. The Chemkin file-import function enables reading of data in a format standard in the chemical industry to gas-phase reaction, combustion and atmospheric chemistry. New repair and defeaturing functions during the import of CAD files make it easy to refine...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPromoted Content December 2022 IssueNow available!
