Additionally, for instances where the application designer wishes to implement highly-customized commands and operations, code generation is greatly simplified in version 5.1, and many template codes are provided.
There is no need to interface between different software packages, and all tools needed are readily available. For example, a function or feature available in the Model Builder can quickly be made available in the Application Builder for the application designer to use. This streamlined integration of the Model Builder and Application Builder allows model data to be exchanged between the two tools from within the same environment. “This innovation streamlines the app design process and allows simulation apps to become a truly game-changing engineering solution that will bring powerful design capabilities to non-experts.” “The Application Builder is the only application design environment where the user can create multiphysics apps not only within a single software environment, but within a single window, using the same file format,” said Bjorn Sjodin, VP of Product Management. Also, both models and apps can be saved in the unified. The Application Builder is now accessible directly from the ribbon in COMSOL Multiphysics, where the user can switch to the app design environment and continue working in just one click. While building an app, an engineer can easily switch between the Model Builder and Application Builder and make updates to both the model and the app, simultaneously. In COMSOL Multiphysics 5.1, the Model Builder and Application Builder have been merged into one unified and interactive environment. Going from Model to App Is Quick and Easy Customers also will benefit from the flexibility of being able to run applications on multiple computers using COMSOL Server.
Major upgrades to the Application Builder include full integration between the Model Builder and Application Builder, improved layout tools for app design, and LiveLink™ for Excel® capabilities in applications. COMSOL software version 5.1 enhances user experience and productivity by allowing users to seamlessly combine model setup with application design from a single interface. Simulation experts can now benefit from a fully integrated environment where they can create models with COMSOL Multiphysics, build simulation apps with the Application Builder, and share these apps with non-experts via COMSOL Server™. Burlington, MA - COMSOL, the leading provider of multiphysics modeling and simulation software, announced on April 15 the release of COMSOL Multiphysics® software version 5.1, the first and only integrated simulation environment for building multiphysics models and for creating and sharing easy-to-use simulation apps.
