COMSOL API-AI-powered COMSOL modeling tool

Example

You can create geometries programmatically by defining the shape, size, and position of objects in the simulation space. For instance, you can use the API to create a 3D model of a block, set its dimensions, and apply transformations like scaling or rotations.

Scenario

A user wants to model different turbine blade designs and automate the comparison of their performance under various flow conditions. By using the COMSOL API, they can generate these geometries and run multiple simulations programmatically.

Example

The API enables you to define the physics that govern the simulation, such as setting up fluid flow equations, applying boundary conditions, and assigning materials.

Scenario

In an automotive application, an engineer can use the API to define and simulate airflow around a vehicle's body. By automating the configuration of fluid dynamics and boundary layers, the API helps in testing multiple car designs more efficiently.

Example

Users can assign materials to various parts of their model using the API, along with defining custom material properties if required. For instance, assigning a copper material to a heat sink geometry.

Scenario

A company designing electronic components can automate the simulation of heat dissipation by programmatically assigning materials such as copper and aluminum to different components of a circuit.

Example

You can configure the study steps for simulations, including stationary and time-dependent studies. The API also manages solver settings and runs the studies.

Scenario

In battery design, a researcher might use the API to configure a study that solves electrochemical equations to predict battery performance over time. The API ensures that each simulation runs with predefined solver settings optimized for the particular study.

Example

The API allows you to extract and manipulate simulation results, create plots, and export data in various formats such as CSV or images.

Scenario

A mechanical engineer simulates stress analysis on a bridge design and uses the API to extract maximum stress points and automatically generate plots for each design iteration. The engineer can programmatically compare stress distributions to optimize the bridge structure.

Example

Through scripting, users can automate complex workflows, such as varying geometric parameters and re-running simulations in a loop to optimize designs.

Scenario

In the design of heat exchangers, a user might automate a parametric sweep to study the effect of different fin geometries on heat transfer efficiency. By using the COMSOL API, they can run hundreds of simulations without manual input, saving significant time and effort.
