COMSOL Server Now Open for Multiphysics App Sharing

Simulation apps share expert knowledge with the whole team


COMSOL Server controls the use and distribution of COMSOL apps.

The COMSOL Server has finally arrived. Back in October the Server was announced with the launch of the COMSOL Application Builder as a platform for running and sharing COMSOL Apps.

These applications allow experts to produce interfaces to run their Multiphysics simulations. The Apps are a great method for an expert to share their knowledge with customers, peers and clients without risking the integrity of their simulation.

Bjorn Sjodin, VP of Product Management at COMSOL said, “COMSOL Server not only provides an effective way for engineers to distribute their applications, it also allows updates to be readily available to all users … Because applications are accessible through a web interface, as soon as a new version of an application is uploaded, app users will immediately have access to the latest version. Developers will also appreciate the fact that the applications can be password protected.”

The COMSOL Server acts as an app hub and distribution network. The Server also controls and runs the apps. Assuming your Server has access to the correct licenses, it will be able to run a COMSOL app in Windows or through a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Explorer or Safari).

According to Svante Littmarck, CEO of the COMSOL Group, “COMSOL Server provides an environment for running applications created in the Application Builder that is easy to access and use … Using the Application Builder and COMSOL Server together, an R&D engineer, for example, has the tools to create applications that will best serve their specific industry in a format that is easy to use, quick to implement, and can be scaled for global benefit.”
