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.

About

Companies today are faced with complex design challenges and tight budgets. eCADSTAR is more than a PCB layout tool with simulation, 3D MCAD integration, and wire harness support all built on the latest technology for enterprise-level performance at an affordable cost. The modern intuitive UI makes eCADSTAR a compelling solution for all designers. Leverage eCADSTAR’s design capabilities to simplify and accelerate the design process. With the digitally connected library, intuitive schematic capture, and tools to accelerate PCB layout engineers spend less time manipulating the tool and more time doing what they do best, innovate creative solutions for today’s technological challenges. One of the most time-consuming parts of the design process is the test plan. The validation process can be costly in terms of time and money without adequate upfront simulation. eCADSTAR’s capabilities in Spice simulation and SI/PI analysis delivers test cycle time reductions.

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

  • It is very hard to give any pros to this product as every aspect of this SW I've seen better done in other PCB design CADs, even free ones.

Cons

  • - Each design is in fact a database, which means that collaboration is possible only if design files are opened from network location, which at the same time makes this CAD very slow and unstable. At the same time no repository is supported. Forget about downloading whole design each time, as whole project can be vey heavy. - Only one library can be open at a time AND you cannot change component values from the schematic. Which means that changing a resistor value requires: open library, make new component, load that library into the design (if you are prohibited to use your own library only by your company), restart app, replace old resistor with new component. - grid settings are crazy, you cannot cycle grid or change it on the fly. (just to list a few examples)
