• Composite Materials Module: For modeling layered materials.
• COMSOL Multiphysics: Multiple parameter nodes in the Model Builder. Group Model Builder nodes into folders. Coloring of physics and geometry selections. Several times faster solution time in the Windows® 7 and 10 operating systems for computers with more than 8 processor cores.
• Multiphysics: Heat transfer, electric currents, and Joule heating in thin layered structures.
• Electromagnetics: Fully parametric and ready-to-use parts for coils and magnetic cores.
• Structural-thermal-optical-performance (STOP) analysis for ray optics.
• Structural: Shock response spectrum analysis. Material activation for additive manufacturing.
• Acoustics: Acoustic ports. Nonlinear acoustics Westervelt model.
• Fluid flow:Large eddy simulation (LES). Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) for multiphase flow and multibody dynamics.
• Heat transfer: Heat radiation with diffuse-specular reflections and semi-transparent surfaces. Light-diffusion equation.
• Chemical: Lumped models for batteries. Updated thermodynamics interface.
• Optimization: New topology optimization tool.

Enjoy!
