About

The popularity of ESS is mainly owing to our niche solutions in the automotive market. The success of our solutions in the competitive environment led ESS to set foot into the “on-demand” domain. With the alsim cloud, we are achieving something no one else has pulled off before. We offer simulation tools that can be used by anyone without any CFD knowledge on a pay-per-use basis. This ensures all consumers – students, engineers and businesses alike – can equip themselves with our cutting-edge techniques. Apart from the offline product offerings, we also serve our customers across all industries with solutions & reports based on our simulation results. We work closely with our customers in identifying their requirements and problem areas to provide them with highly accurate simulation results. Equipped with in-depth experience of industrial processes and robust solvers, we have been able to provide service to some of the major OEMs across the world with success.

About

Simulate real-world designs, devices, and processes with multiphysics software from COMSOL. General-purpose simulation software based on advanced numerical methods. Fully coupled multiphysics and single-physics modeling capabilities. Complete modeling workflow, from geometry to postprocessing. User-friendly tools for building and deploying simulation apps. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software brings a user interface and experience that is always the same, regardless of engineering application and physics phenomena. Add-on modules provide specialized functionality for electromagnetics, structural mechanics, acoustics, fluid flow, heat transfer, and chemical engineering. Choose from a list of LiveLink™ products to interface directly with CAD and other third-party software. Deploy simulation applications with COMSOL Compiler™ and COMSOL Server™. Create physics-based models and simulation applications with this software platform.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Very easy to use. Saves a lot of time. Accurate results that helps understanding the processes that cannot be seen by naked eye.

Cons

  • The GUI might be improved. Big ambitions of the software sometimes take time to achieve.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Comsol allows for creating physics simulations in a large variety of fields (from acoustics, to electromagnetics, to thermal applications, to fluid dynamics, to semiconductor physics, to.... you name them). The overall capabilities of Comsol Mutiphysics are pretty much endless as soon as you have to solve differential equations. Its GUI is really nice and is more intuitive than some other alternatives such as Abaqus.

Cons

  • At first it can be very intimidating and overwhelming. Deciding what "physics" you want to solve, setting up your first simulation, customizing your equations, calculating specific physical quantities, testing for convergence, ... This is true for most of the specialized software, but because of the multiphysics component, it can be daunting to get started with this particular software suite. To me, the most negative aspect is the customer support. I've been conducting research in my field for over 15 years and I've used multitude of software, from open source to commercial packages, and Comsol has the worst technical support of them all. Several years ago, I interviewed for a senior application engineer position at Comsol, and I was told by the senior managing engineer who was interviewing me two things that made me reject the offer they made: 1) that the company "does not care about academia because academic license are cheap and do not bring in money" (as opposed to industry) and 2) "Engineers at Comsol are not suppose to help people with their particular technical problems, they are here to refer the customer to online resource that already exist".
