A Guide to Publishing and Licensing Simulation Applications
Interested in protecting the proprietary rights of the simulation applications you create and distribute? We walk you through 2 ways to set up licensing terms and conditions.

Performing Topology Optimization with the Density Method
The density method simplifies the process of topology optimization. Get an overview of how to use a special density feature for topology optimization in the COMSOL® software.

How to Create Custom Reports Using Report Templates
You can document and showcase your simulation setups and results with reports. To make this process more efficient, COMSOL Multiphysics® includes tools for creating easy-to-use report templates.

Keynote Video: Improving Synchrotron Light Sources with Applications
For synchrotron light sources, brighter is better: RadiaSoft LLC creates and deploys wave optics simulation applications to design improved vacuum chambers for a synchrotron upgrade project.

Studying Shock Wave Phenomena with a Shock Tube Application
Shock waves used to be a theoretical problem only. Then, shock tubes enabled experimentation, but it was costly and inefficient. Enter numerical modeling applications.

FEM vs. FVM
Finite element methods, finite volume methods, or a hybrid approach: Which is the best choice for CFD? It depends on the fluid flow problem you’re trying to solve.

Using Discontinuous Meshes for Conjugate Heat Transfer Modeling
You can use different discontinuous meshes in neighboring domains in COMSOL Multiphysics®. This capability comes in handy, particularly when modeling conjugate heat transfer problems.

How to Export (and Share) Your 3D Result Plots as glTF™ Files
Wow your project stakeholders by sharing your 3D COMSOL Multiphysics® results as glTF™ files. We show you how to export plots and share them in third-party graphics viewers.
