Engineers will be able to build electrical circuit diagrams, process flowsheets, and custom equation-based system models using a library of nearly 5000 ready-to-use components.Individual blocks can represent electrical devices, process units, custom components, or full multiphysics model components. These components can be connected to create systems of interacting components, enabling users to efficiently perform system-level modeling while introducing detailed models wherever local physical effects need to be resolved. Overall, this process will provide a modeling approach for studying how individual component behavior influences overall system performance.The Model Builder with the Flowsheet interface highlighted, the corresponding Settings window, and a flowsheet in the Graphics window coupled to a detailed 3D multiphysics model of a continuous mixer, providing a direct link between system-level process behavior and the detailed physics of an individual process unit.Advancing AI-Assisted Simulation with Agentic WorkflowsThe previous version of COMSOL Multiphysics provided generative AI assistance through an optional Chatbot window, which can be used for obtaining modeling and programming guidance. Version 2027 takes the next step in AI-tool integration with the new COMSOL MCP Server, which uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide a standardized way for AI agents to interact directly with COMSOL Multiphysics. With this server, an agent will be able to easily perform modeling and simulation tasks through the COMSOL API used for all physics functionality and all stages of the modeling workflow.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.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.“This support will open the door to more ambitious engineering workflows, connecting modeling, simulation, optimization, validation, and reporting in an iterative, goal-driven process,” said Mikael Sterner, director of development at COMSOL. “Engineers can focus more on the questions they want to answer, with agents helping to carry out the simulation work.”New Electric Motor ModuleThe 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.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 BuilderThe Application Builder will now also be available on macOS and Linux® with version 2027, enabling more users to build customized simulation tools.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.News Across the Product SuiteAdditional updates in version 2027 include:Expanded defeaturing capabilities for ECAD and planar geometry modelsNew interior grid meshing and enhanced swept meshingFluid–structure interaction with high Mach number flowEdge- and point-to-surface mechanical contactNew acoustic material library with biomedical and porous material propertiesFaster pseudo-4D battery simulations and new poroelasticity coupling for lithium-ion batteriesCOMSOL Multiphysics version 2027 will be discussed in more detail at the COMSOL Conference, which is being hosted this fall in the UK, U.S., Japan, China, and India.COMSOL (https://www.comsol.com/) is a global provider of simulation software for product design and research to technical enterprises, research labs, and universities. Its COMSOL Multiphysics product is an integrated software environment for creating physics-based models and simulation apps. A particular strength is its ability to account for coupled or multiphysics phenomena. Add-on products expand the simulation platform for electromagnetics, structural, acoustics, fluid flow, heat transfer, and chemical applications. Interfacing tools enable the integration of COMSOL Multiphysics simulations with all major technical computing and CAD tools on the CAE market. Simulation experts rely on COMSOL Compiler™ and COMSOL Server™ to distribute apps to their design teams, manufacturing departments, test laboratories, and customers throughout the world.
