Integrated simulation and 3D design applications

COMSOL, has announced support for app development in the latest version of LiveLink for SOLIDWORKS. Part of COMSOL Multiphysics software, the only fully integrated environment for creating custom simulation applications, LiveLink for SOLIDWORKS connects COMSOL software simulations and 3D design and its latest version allows users to build apps with the Application Builder. With LiveLink for SOLIDWORKS and the Application Builder, engineers can build apps based on COMSOL models created from a SOLIDWORKS software geometry. LiveLink for SOLIDWORKS allows them to import and perform operations on their CAD geometries from within an app and then synchronize the final geometry with SOLIDWORKS software.
 
LiveLink for SOLIDWORKS includes a bidirectional interface between the COMSOL Desktop environment and SOLIDWORKS software. For even closer integration, the One Window interface makes the familiar windows, tools, icons, and menu items from COMSOL Multiphysics available within the SOLIDWORKS software user interface, enabling users to set up simulations without leaving the CAD design environment.
 
LiveLink for SOLIDWORKS also supports user-defined selections for an easier and more efficient simulation set-up on the synchronized CAD design. Users can also create selections from features of the Feature Manager Design Tree in SOLIDWORKS software, or from the components of the CAD assembly. In addition, LiveLink for SOLIDWORKS can automatically generate and synchronize selections based on the material assignments in the CAD design in SOLIDWORKS software.
