A new state-of-the-art multiscale tutorial model of a 3D packed bed reactor with two levels of homogenization. Automatic computation of gas mixture viscosity for fluids and dusty gas model features. Chemical products: Macroscale to miscroscale concentration coupling at pellet-fluid interface.

New Part Library available in the Mixer Module. New pressure loss options for T-junctions, Y-junctions, and n-way junctions available for pipe flow simulations. Fluid flow simulations can now combine porous media flow with turbulent flow, and porous domains are allowed to be unbounded with the aid of infinite elements.

Fluid products: Euler-Euler two-phase flow with turbulence. Ray acoustics for graded media and fluid models with attenuation. New predefined impedance boundary conditions for acoustics.
SLDPRT SUPPORT IN COMSOL 5.1 FULL
A new multiphysics interface for heat transfer in porous media enables local thermal non-equilibrium simulations (useful for microwave heating, exothermic reactions, nuclear engineering, electronics system design, and full cells). A new Algebraic Turbulence model has been added to the Heat Transfer Module. A Part Library has also been added for structural applications, which includes beams and bolts. Trusses can be modeled to include nonlinear springs and plasticity. Membranes can now have nonlinear materials. Mechanical products: A new multiphysics interface for hygroscopic swelling has been added to the Structural Mechanics Module. Demo application for computing and visualizing the color of an LED based on semiconductor physics. Perforations feature for thin film damping (useful for MEMS). Special tools for handling ring resonators with the beam envelope formulation. Surface roughness on lossy conductive boundaries for electromagnetic wave simulations. Electrical products: Multi-turn coil computation for coils with varying cross-sections. Plots of geometric points or cut-points and their trajectory through time. Visualization of a periodic solution in a unit cell as a custom-sized array. Visualization of a solution outside of the mesh (useful for far fields in electromagnetic waves and acoustic waves). Modeling Tools, Studies, and Visualization: A new matrix-free domain-decomposition solver. Geometry and Mesh: Face detection for imported meshes, surface simplification in mesh to geometry conversion, and domain and boundary selections for NASTRAN® Property ID Numbers tools. 20 fully-documented and ready-to-use simulation apps based on COMSOL models have been added to the Application Libraries. COMSOL Server can now distribute the workload of running applications on multiple computers. Numerous productivity enhancements such as improved file handling, sending emails with attachments, string and keyword searches, custom toolbars for tables, and more. Tighter integration between the Model Builder and Application Builder. *News in COMSOL Multiphysics and COMSOL Server* Version 5.1 is the first and only integrated simulation environment that lets you build multiphysics models and create and share easy-to-use simulation apps.ĬOMSOL Multiphysics 5.1 can be downloaded at: COMSOL Multiphysics(R) 5.1 was released on Wednesday, April 15.
