'''COMSOL Multiphysics''' (formerly '''FEMLAB''') is a [[finite element]] analysis and solver [[software]] package for various [[physics]] and [[engineering]] applications, especially coupled phenomena, or [[multiphysics]]. COMSOL Multiphysics also offers an extensive and well-managed 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 ([[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[Macintosh|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). The PDEs can be entered directly or using the so called weak form (see [[finite element method]] for a description of weak formulation).
 
COMSOL was started by graduate students to [[Germund Dahlquist]] based on codes developed for a graduate course at the [[Royal Institute of Technology]] (KTH)<ref name="siam-obit">[http://www.siam.org/news/news.php?id=54 SIAM Obituary - Germund Dahlquist]</ref> in Stockholm, Sweden.
