Abstract: COMSOL Multiphysics Seminar
COMSOL Multiphysics is an industry-leading scientific software package for
the modeling and simulation of any physics-based system. A particular
strength is its ability to simultaneously account for interdependent,
coupled physics, known in the industry as multiphysics phenomena.

Join us for a COMSOL Multiphysics seminar. Learn how to use COMSOL
Multiphysics to model physics phenomena in a wide variety of application
areas. Learn how to create and solve mathematical models step-by-step,
and get an overview of COMSOL Multiphysics’ capabilities and the modeling
process.

COMSOL: Company Information
The COMSOL Group provides software solutions for multiphysics modeling.
We are a fast growing high tech engineering software company with a
proven track record and a vision as a future leader of the industry.
The company was founded in July 1986 in Stockholm Sweden. We have grown
to include offices in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Germany, France,
Switzerland, Italy, The Netherlands, U.S.A. and United Kingdom.

Svante Littmarck is the CEO of the COMSOL Group and the President and
CEO of COMSOL, Inc. Farhad Saeidi is the CEO and President of COMSOL AB.

COMSOL Multiphysics Products
COMSOL Multiphysics is an industry-leading scientific software package
for the modeling and simulation of any physics-based system. A particular
strength is its ability to simultaneously account for interdependent,
coupled physics, known in the industry as multiphysics phenomena.

Researchers working in dedicated disciplines can also find add-on modules
that have special user interfaces and optimized application setups;
currently available are the Chemical Engineering, Earth Science,
Electromagnetics, Heat Transfer, MEMS and Structural Mechanics Modules.

A related package, the COMSOL Reaction Engineering Lab, allows users to
enter chemical formulas and immediately see the reaction kinetics and
thermodynamics.

Another product in the family is COMSOL Script, an interactive scripting
language that works both as a general-purpose scientific computational
tool and that also runs within COMSOL Multiphysics to automate tasks
such as parametric studies and create customized user interfaces.

All this software is available for the Windows, Linux, Solaris, and
the Macintosh operating systems.
