The rise of COMSOL: A decade of growth

What exactly is multiphysics simulation, and why did engineering software evolve beyond solving a single physical phenomenon at a time? In this video, we explore the concept of multiphysics, how different physical domains interact, and why coupled simulations have become essential in modern engineering. We also take a look at the history of COMSOL Multiphysics, from its origins as FEMLAB to one of the most widely used multiphysics simulation platforms today. Whether you are a student, researcher, or engineer, understanding multiphysics is fundamental for accurately modeling real-world systems where heat transfer, fluid flow, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, chemical reactions, and other phenomena occur simultaneously.
