COMSOL

Software description

COMSOL Multiphysics® is a general-purpose simulation software for modeling designs, devices, and processes in all fields of engineering, manufacturing, and scientific research. In addition to using multiphysics modeling for your own projects, you can also turn your models into simulation applications and digital twins for use by other design teams, manufacturing departments, test labs, customers, and more.

Licensing

Users not affiliated with Linköping University need to have a license server running at their home institute. That license server must be reachable from NSC, i.e. any firewalls must be opened for access from the NSC systems.

To use COMSOL two environment variables have to be set to point to that license:

export LM_LICENSE_FILE=port@hostname.of.your.license.server
export LM_PROJECT=secret

Please, contact your local COMSOL license administrator for the correct values for port, hostname and secret. Contact support@nsc.liu.se if you need help in your conntact with your local COMSOL license administrator.

Users affiliated with Linköping University (researcher, student etc.) automatically use the Linköping University COMSOL Multiphysics license and should not set the two environment variables above.

If you are a LiU user and cannot access COMSOL Multiphysics, please contact support@nsc.liu.se and we will add you to the license group (liu), which will give you access.
