Hi,

It really depends on what you want to do. It's like apple and orange these days. So, what do you want to do?

Hi

for me A is first of all an engineering tool, while COMSOL is both for physicists and engineers, because you can go deeper into the physics, and its not that much a "black box" thing.

There is a price aspect too, at least for non-academic users but we should not say that too loudly here ;)

Have fun Comsoling

1. arbitrary equations may be added on input; i.e., pde mode in COMSOL

2. many more physics options are available through the add-in modules. An infinite number of physics options when you think of #1 option above combined with the ability to change any equation.

3. price and support
