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".

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The program provides us with computerized CAD modeling tools based on the specifications previously requested, to simulate the operation of the projects we have in just the development phase. It has several modeling options: 3D, motion, dynamic, among others. It is an excellent opportunity for companies that have ideas and projects in their primary states and want to test their safety, performance and future failures, since SimScale models your project in 3D scale and simulates operability and gives you risk reports and opportunities in its operation.
  • SimScale offers a 3D scale project simulation and infrastructure modeling service in a computerized way using basic knowledge of web aided engineering. We can use it if we work in the fields of engineering, architecture and construction and the program is responsible for digital testing of our projects that are under development.

Cons

  • SimScale does not allow a direct manipulation in the simulations of the projects provided by the companies, limiting us the power to modify or control the testing process. It also does not offer a version for mobile devices causing its usability to become frustrating when we ask for it in practice.
  • This program has the limitation of language, since the platform is only in English. This generates conflict with its clients since they have more than 100,000 of them and are segmented around the world. Likewise, it does not offer 2D modeling for projects of smaller scale or importance or budget.
