'''COMSOL Multiphysics''' is a cross-platform [[finite element]] analysisanalyzer, solver, and [[multiphysicssimulation software]] package for various physics and engineering applications, especially [[simulationCoupled softwaremode theory|coupled]] phenomena and [[Multiphysics simulation|multiphysics.]] ItThe software allowsfacilitates conventional physics-based user interfaces and coupled systems of partial differential equations ([[partialPartial differential equation|PDEs]]s (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 [[WeakJava formulation(programming language)|weakJava]] formand [[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.

An API for [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and LiveLink for [[MATLAB]] and [[Autodesk Inventor]] may be used to control the software externally.

An Application Builder can be used to develop independent custom ___domain-specific simulation applications. Users may use drag-and-drop tools (Form Editor) or programming (Method Editor).

COMSOL Server is a distinct software for the management of COMSOL simulation applications in companies.

The eponymous company COMSOL developing the software was founded in 1986 by Svante Littmarck and Farhad Saeidi in Stockholm, Sweden.<ref>{{cite web|title=The COMSOL Group|url=https://www.comsol.pro|website=COMSOL.pro|publisher=Comsol, Inc.|accessdate=22 June 2019|archive-url=https://comsol.pro/https://www.comsol.pro|archive-date=22 June 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref>
