COMSOL

COMSOL Multiphysics is a cross-platform finite element analysis, solver and multiphysics simulation software. It allows conventional physics-based user interfaces and coupled systems of partial differential equations (PDEs). COMSOL provides an IDE and unified workflow for electrical, mechanical, fluid, acoustics, and chemical applications.

Usage

Version	module
5.4	comsol/5.4

CAUTION: There are only 3 COMSOL licenses available for all of Lehigh. Considering that COMSOL is used outside of Research Computing resources that do not have a wall time limit, there may not be a license available when your job is scheduled to start.
