COMSOL Day: Simulation Apps & Digital Twins

Physics-based simulation apps can be customized for specific needs and used to democratize access to advanced simulation tools among a broader community of engineers and scientists. With COMSOL Compiler™, these simulation apps can be transformed into standalone executable files and then distributed and run without license restrictions — enabling more project stakeholders from various teams to leverage modeling and simulation.

New functionality in COMSOL Multiphysics^® for creating surrogate models further enhances this capability, enabling lightning-fast simulation apps that provide a highly interactive user experience. Surrogate models also allow simulation apps to be integrated into digital twins, expanding their real-world applications.

Join this session to get an overview of this COMSOL Day, throughout which we will explore simulation apps, digital twins, and surrogate models. We will also highlight how customers have saved both time and resources by creating and using compiled simulation apps and digital twins.

Simulation apps and digital twins are increasingly used to make modeling results accessible and actionable to those users beyond the simulation expert. By combining high-fidelity models with simplified user interfaces, apps and digital twins support analysis, decision-making, and communication across engineering teams.

The COMSOL Multiphysics^® software provides an integrated environment for developing, deploying, and maintaining such tools. Using the Application Builder and COMSOL Compiler™, models can be packaged as standalone apps, while surrogate modeling and data-driven methods enable fast evaluations suitable for real-time use and digital twin implementations.

Join this session for an introduction to building and deploying simulation apps and digital twins in COMSOL Multiphysics^®, including practical workflows and example applications.

Simulation-data-driven surrogate models in COMSOL Multiphysics^® significantly increase computational speed while maintaining the same accuracy as high-fidelity multiphysics models within their applicable data ranges, making them useful for efficiently approximating simulation results.

COMSOL Multiphysics^® provides an ideal environment for generating the physics-based training data used by surrogate models. These models can be incorporated into simulation apps, leading to a more interactive user experience and encouraging broader use of simulation within organizations. Surrogate models can also be used to accelerate uncertainty quantification analyses and multiphysics modeling.

Join this session to learn more about creating surrogate models. We will present techniques for effective data generation using design of experiments methods and walk through the subsequent steps for training a surrogate model. We will also demonstrate how to incorporate surrogate models into simulation apps.
