MEMS Module

MEMS_ModuleThe design and modeling of microscale electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is a unique engineering discipline. At small length scales, designs must consider the effects of several physical phenomena. The MEMS Module solves problems that couple structural mechanics, microfluidics, and electromagnetics.

CAD Import Module

comsollogo_smGetting your CAD geometries ready for FEA modeling is easier than ever with the CAD Import Module. It facilitates the reading of industry-standard formats such as STEP, IGES, ACIS® (SAT®) or Parasolid®. Extra add-ons support file formats for packages that have their own geometry kernel.

Heat Transfer Module

Heat_Trans__ModThe Heat Transfer Module provides a combination of simulation capabilities to model heat transfer via conduction, convection, and radiation, as well as the ability to couple these to other physics. With boundary conditions for describing convective and radiative effects, contact resistance, as well as thin highly-conductive shells, you can simulate anything from a simple "back of the envelope" model to a full model with all effects explicitly described.
