Comsol Multiphysics 3.3, an FEA program, simulates a wide variety of physical phenomena, including stress analysis, fluid transport, heat transfer, and mass diffusion. Users can also type in governing partial differential equations for problems that describe phenomena not already included in the software. What really sets 3.3 apart is that it can combine equations to solve multiphysics problems, such as thermal-induced stresses in a machined part.
