During this period COMSOL developed its own software known as FEMLAB that expanded the capabilities of MATLAB in solving partial differential equations. The founders were former doctoral students of professor Germund Dahlquist at KTH and originally partnered with US based Mathworks as a European distributor of MATLAB. Some of the other software packages in this semi-comprehensive category that we would have liked to review if we had more time include Altair AcuSolve, Flow Science FLOW-3D, MSC SC/Tetra, and SimScale.ĬOMSOL was established in July, 1986 with a headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. So here, we are focusing on three software packages in this category based on their large user base and/or their potential to become comprehensive: COMSOL Multiphysics, CONVERGE CFD, and Numeca OMNIS. There are many available CFD software packages that could be described as semi-comprehensive, and we couldn’t possibly review them all and still get any real work done. In this section, we’re discussing software packages that strive to be comprehensive, multi-physics tools but, in our opinion, fall just a little short in some respect. Limited requirements for user-coding and/or command line operations Vendor initiated verification and validation of physics and numerical methods The capability to import complex 3d solid and surface geometries from diverse sourcesĪn all-in-one workflow, including pre-processing, simulation and post-processingīroad multi-physics simulation capabilitiesĮfficient data architectures, numerical methods and utilization of diverse hardware and software configurations The following is our not-so-scientific list of criteria we used for classifying software packages as “Comprehensive” or not. In our original post, we defined the highest-performing CFD software class as “Comprehensive”.
