Learn the fundamental workflow of COMSOL Multiphysics®. This introductory demonstration will show you all of the key modeling steps, including geometry creation, setting up physics, meshing, solving, and evaluating and visualizing results.
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.3 provides specialized new features for geometry creation, meshing, and CAD integration, improving the efficiency of model setup. Automatic detection and removal of small details and gaps in CAD models enable more robust mesh generation and efficient models. A new mesh element sizing algorithm ensures accurate resolution of geometric features. Physics-controlled meshing now supports imported STL files, and enhanced operations such as edge extrusion and revolutions improve flexibility in geometry creation. Additional new functionality includes virtual operations for face merging as well as easier swept meshing.
Important updates for the add-on products featuring CAD functionality include the ability to select specific components from assemblies, create variable radius and constant width fillets, and project edges to faces. For PCB design, users can now import component outlines and create plated vias, with added support for ECAD export in OASIS format.

Swati Sahu, TCS Research
In this keynote talk, Swati Sahu, a research scientist at TCS Research, will talk about the use of COMSOL Multiphysics® for developing a thermo-electrochemical model to predict capacity fading in Li-ion cells with transition metal-oxide electrodes. The model captures key degradation mechanisms, including metal dissolution, electrolyte-side reactions, and passive film formation, to evaluate their impact on long-term cell performance. Additionally, a coupled thermal model is integrated to assess the effects of internal heat generation on cell dynamics, providing a comprehensive multiphysics framework for studying capacity loss under varying operating conditions. Predictions derived from the model are validated against experimental data across multiple ambient temperatures, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach in simulating real-world battery aging.
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.3 introduces the new Electric Discharge Module for simulations of discharges in gases, liquids, and solids, as well as several new features and significant improvements to electromagnetics modeling.
These updates include capabilities for efficient modeling of laminated iron in motors and transformers and DQ excitation support, enabling common control strategies and key machine parameter calculations in electric motors. The release also introduces homogenized litz coil conductor modeling, accounting for strand count, DC resistance, and high-frequency loss. Additionally, electrostatic force calculations for MEMS devices are now more accurate, and new functionality enables the simulation of dielectric dispersion in biological tissues.
For transmission line modeling, version 6.3 offers RLGC parameter calculation, time-domain analysis, and a streamlined workflow for handling periodic structures in wave optics. In ray optics, users can now benefit from the automatic generation of spot diagrams and geometric modulation transfer function (MTF) plots. The release also enhances semiconductor device modeling with accurate leakage current calculations and introduces dedicated interfaces for nonisothermal plasma flow simulations.

Dr. Fiyanshu Kaka, Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Pune (DIAT Pune)
In this keynote talk, Dr. Fiyanshu Kaka, a faculty member at the Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Pune (DIAT Pune), will talk about the drawbacks of conventional Li-ion batteries, highlighting the critical shift to all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) and the significant role that solid electrolyte morphology plays in battery performance. Utilizing the phase field approach, solid electrolyte morphologies are simulated and integrated into ASSBs through a robust process to assess their impact on electrochemical characteristics. Furthermore, upon the successful incorporation of solid electrolyte morphology, simulations are performed at a constant discharge current density of 5 A.m−2, revealing a significant order of magnitude difference in the discharging times for ASSBs with varying volume fractions, underscoring the pivotal role of solid-electrolyte’s morphology. His research provides a generalized framework for assessing the influence of microstructure on performance characteristics, a crucial aspect in materials science and engineering.
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.3 introduces a range of new features and improvements for electrochemical and chemical reaction engineering simulations. For battery design, the release includes a new two-electrode lumped model and single-particle electrode options, extending the capabilities for simplified and lumped model analysis of battery performance and behavior. Additionally, a demonstration app for analyzing battery test cycles features new functionality for time-dependent surrogate modeling. Furthermore, modeling of concentrated electrolytes in electrochemical cells is now available in all electrochemistry products.
In chemical reaction engineering, new capabilities for simulation of precipitation and crystallization enable users to model particle nucleation and growth while accounting for particle size distributions. A new tool for generating space-dependent models simplifies the setup of turbulent reacting flow simulations by automatically coupling turbulence, chemical species transport, and heat transfer.

COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.3 introduces a range of new features for fluid flow and heat transfer modeling. Reynolds-stress turbulence models enable accurate simulations of secondary flows in ducts and flows with strong swirl or mean rotation, and a new kinetic energy option enhances simulations of high Mach number flows. Shear-induced migration in multiphase flow modeling supports applications such as particle fractionation and microfiltration. The new mixing plane functionality simplifies the modeling of pumps, turbines, and other rotating machinery. Additionally, the release introduces tools for simulating non-Newtonian flow in porous media.
Heat transfer modeling is extended with a repeating unit cell method for composites and porous media, alongside a forward ray-shooting technique for improved accuracy in external radiation. Performance improvements include faster surface-to-surface radiation simulations for large models and enhanced workflows for fast drying simulations using nonequilibrium moisture transport.
