iveLink™ for Excel®
Run COMSOL Multiphysics® simulations directly from a spreadsheet with LiveLink™ for Excel®. Parameters and variables used in COMSOL Multiphysics are instantly available in Microsoft® Excel and automatically synchronized to your physics model.
LiveLink™ for Excel® allows for a simplified workflow where you only need to display and edit the most important simulation parameters. Interactive 3D visualizations are presented in a separate dedicated canvas. Using LiveLink™ for Excel® automatically adds a COMSOL® tab to the Excel ribbon for controlling the mesh or running a simulation. You can also import/export Excel files for parameter and variable lists in the COMSOL Desktop GUI. LiveLink™ for Excel® currently requires Excel 2007 or 2010 for Windows®.

Livelink™ for Excel®
Here, LiveLink™ for Excel® is used for a parameterized high-power direct current simulation of a bus bar. The parameters controlling the geometric dimensions as well as the applied voltage are edited in an Excel spreadsheet and synchronized to the underlying COMSOL Multiphysics model. A dedicated ribbon tab is added to Excel for easy access to parameters, variables, functions, geometry, mesh, solvers, and results.
Fatigue Module
The Fatigue Module enables structural fatigue life computations in the COMSOL Multiphysics environment. Both high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue methods are available, based on stress and strain, respectively.
For stress-based fatigue, the Fatigue Module provides the methods of Findley, Matake, and Normal Stress. For strain-based fatigue, the available methods are Smith-Watson-Topper, Wang-Brown, and Fatemi-Socie. The Fatigue Module features Neuber\’s rule and the Hoffmann Seeger method for an approximate elastoplastic solution.
In addition, a full elastoplastic fatigue evaluation is available when combining the Fatigue Module with the Nonlinear Structural Materials Module. Results include visualization of fatigue life based on the number of cycles until failure as well as fatigue usage factor. The Fatigue Module is available as an add-on to the Structural Mechanics Module.

Fatigue Module
Elastoplastic low cycle fatigue (LCF) analysis of a cylinder with a hole. The last of two load cycles is used for the fatigue analysis to make sure that the state is representative for repeated loadings.
ECAD Import Module
You can now create 3D geometry models from ECAD layouts using the ECAD Import Module. Using any of the ODB++(X), GDS-II, and NETEX-G file formats, you can select which subset of cells, nets and layers to import, edit layer thickness, control the geometric representation of bond wires, and include selected dielectric regions.
The layout is automatically extruded and converted to a 3D CAD model for use in any kind of COMSOL Multiphysics simulations with any combination of add-on products.
Capacitance and inductance extraction for a planar transformer model imported as an ECAD file. This type of device is used in power supplies and DC/DC converters where a slim high-power design is crucial. The entire layout, including the footprint of the transformer ferrite core, is imported from an ODB++(X) file. The ECAD Import Module is used to read the layout and automatically create a 3D geometry model of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and the ferrite core.
LiveLink™ for Solid Edge®
LiveLink™ for Solid Edge® delivers a seamless integration of CAD and simulation. By establishing an associative connection between the two applications, a change of a feature in the CAD model automatically updates the geometry in COMSOL Multiphysics, while retaining physics settings. All parameters specified in Solid Edge® can be interactively linked with your simulation geometry. This enables multiphysics simulation involving parametric sweeps and design optimization directly from within the CAD program.
LiveLink™ for Solid Edge® includes all the capabilities of the CAD Import Module. This lets you import and defeature files from all major CAD packages.
