Acoustics Simulation for Innovation

Acoustical engineers researching and developing products and designs that involve acoustic phenomena benefit from incorporating the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software into their workflow.

Introducing COMSOL Multiphysics®

Real-World Acoustics Simulation Examples

The COMSOL Multiphysics® software features a consistent user interface, regardless of engineering application and physics phenomena. By adding the Acoustics Module, acoustical engineers can study and predict factors like sound quality and noise reduction performance.
