COMSOL Conference 2015 brought together thousands of engineers, researchers, and designers worldwide to share how the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and its Application Builder are being used in multiphysics simulation and custom application design around the world. Experts produced over 750 user-contributed papers, posters, and presentations highlighting R&D projects and best practices in electrical, mechanical, fluid, and chemical engineering. The presentations are available at www.comsol.com/2015-user-presentations.
