{{Short description|Physics and engineering software package}}

'''COMSOL Multiphysics''' (formerly FEMLAB) is a [[finite element]] analysis and solver [[software]] package for various [[physics]] and [[engineering]] applications, especially coupled phenomena--multiphysics. '''COMSOL Multiphysics''' also offers a smooth interface to [[MATLAB]] and its toolboxes for a large variety of [[programming]], preprocessing and postprocessing possibilities. A similar interface is offered to [[COMSOL Script]]. The packages are cross-platform ([[Windows]], [[Mac]], [[Linux]], [[Unix]].) In addition to conventional physics-based user-interfaces, COMSOL Multiphysics also allows for entering coupled systems of [[partial differential equation]]s (PDEs).

'''COMSOL Multiphysics''' is a [[finite element]] analyzer, solver, and [[simulation software]] package for various physics and engineering applications, especially [[Coupled mode theory|coupled]] phenomena and [[Multiphysics simulation|multiphysics.]] The software facilitates conventional physics-based user interfaces and coupled systems of partial differential equations ([[Partial differential equation|PDEs]]). COMSOL Multiphysics provides an [[Integrated development environment|IDE]] and unified workflow for electrical, mechanical, fluid, acoustics, and chemical applications.

Beside the classical problems that can be addressed with application modules, the core Multiphysics package can be used to solve [[Partial differential equation|PDEs]] in weak form. An API for [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and [[MATLAB]] can be used to control the software externally. The program also serves as an application builder for physics applications. Several modules are available for COMSOL,<ref>{{cite web|title=COMSOL Modeling Software|url=https://www.comsol.com/|website=COMSOL.com|publisher=Comsol, Inc.|accessdate=20 November 2015}}</ref> categorized according to the applications areas of Electrical, Mechanical, Fluid, Acoustic, Chemical, Multipurpose, and Interfacing.
