COMSOL, Inc. provided attendees with the latest updates of COMSOL Multiphysics® software, COMSOL Server™ product, and COMSOL Client at the 12th annual COMSOL Conference Boston. The latest update of the COMSOL® software features major performance increases and the release of the Rotordynamics Module, which is now available as an add-on product to the Structural Mechanics Module.
COMSOL is committed to continue its strive to deliver the most efficient and robust multiphysics environment for its wide range of products for electrical, mechanical, acoustics, fluid, thermal, and chemical simulations. “To fulfil this commitment, COMSOL’s development team ensures that each update of the COMSOL® software provides more efficient solvers, meshing, and physics modeling functionality”, comments Bjorn Sjodin, VP of Product Management, COMSOL, Inc.
The latest update of the COMSOL® software product suite includes the new Rotordynamics Module, which will aid engineers in analyzing vibrations due to centrifugal forces and other gyroscopic effects in rotating machinery. This new product will be used to ensure that rotor vibrations are contained within acceptable design limits by providing functionality for evaluating critical speed, whirl, and bearings. This module will be of particular interest to those working with the design of turbines, turbochargers, electrical machinery, and pumps in the automobile, marine, aerospace, energy, and household appliance industries.
“With the Rotordynamics Module, users can take into account the effects of various components such as disks, bearings, and foundations,” explains Prashant Srivastava, a Technical Product Manager at COMSOL. “Users will also be able to easily postprocess their results directly within the software to present the results of their analysis as Campbell diagrams, modal orbits, harmonic orbits, waterfall plots, and whirl plots.”
COMSOL® software products are supported on Windows® operating system, Linux® operating system, and macOS™ operating system. The Application Builder is supported in the Windows® operating system.
