COMSOL Multiphysics Version 6.3 Introduces GPU-Accelerated Acoustics Simulation

COMSOL continues to expand the possibilities for simulation of real-world designs, devices, and processes, and now announced Version 6.3 of its COMSOL Multiphysics software. As largely anticipated in the recent series of conferences, COMSOL 6.3 introduces a new Electric Discharge Module, GPU-accelerated simulations, and many other updates. The Acoustics Module now offers GPU support for transient pressure acoustics, porous materials in the time domain, SLNS formulation for thermoviscous acoustics, anisotropic poroacoustics, and much more

COMSOL announced the release of the latest version of its modeling and simulation software. COMSOL Multiphysics version 6.1 including expanded capabilities in Fluid and Mechanical Simulations. The Acoustics Module in version 6.1 includes several important new possibilities for electroacoustic simulations, including acoustic streaming, and lumped speaker boundary conditions for thermoviscous acoustics.

As anticipated, COMSOL unveiled its Multiphysics Version 5.6 Software Suite introducing faster and more memory lean solvers, efficient CAD assembly handling, clip planes, layout templates for building apps, and four new products: Fuel Cell & Electrolyzer Module, LiveLink for Simulink, Polymer Flow Module, and Liquid & Gas Properties Module. Important news in the Acoustics Module include a new time explicit Nonlinear Acoustics interface that uses the dG-FEM technology, a new feature to model Nonlinear Thermoviscous Acoustics, mechanical Port boundary conditions for elastic waves, and much more.
