Linux®
  • GNU C Library version 2.17 or later
  • Linux® kernel 3.10 or later
  • FlexNet® License Manager requires Linux Standard Base (LSB™)1

1 See FlexNet® License Manager on Linux® below.

Help System on Linux®

In order for the help system to work on Linux® operating systems, the WebKitGTK package needs to be installed. Versions up to 2.32 are supported. Some later versions have stability issues which may or may not affect COMSOL®. The WebKitGTK package is available under different names in different Linux® distributions:

Linux® Distribution Package Name
Debian® 10 and 11 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
Ubuntu® 18.04, 20.04, and 22.04 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 7 and CentOS® 7 webkitgtk4
Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 8, Rocky Linux 8, and Oracle® Linux 8 webkit2gtk3
Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 9, Rocky Linux 9, and Oracle® Linux 9 webkit2gtk3
SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop® 15 libwebkit2gtk-4_0-37
OpenSUSE® Leap 15.3 and 15.4 libwebkit2gtk-4_0-37

FlexNet® License Manager

The system requirements for the license manager are the same as for COMSOL Multiphysics®. COMSOL® 6.1 is not generally compatible with FlexNet® License Manager versions from earlier COMSOL® releases. Thus, when upgrading to COMSOL® 6.1, you need to upgrade the license manager as well. FlexNet® version 11.18.3 is used on all platforms in COMSOL® 6.1. The version of lmgrd must be the same or higher than the FlexNet® version used by the COMSOL® software.

FlexNet® License Manager on Linux®

Linux Standard Base (LSB™) is required for Linux® on the license server computer.

If the LSB™ core package is missing from the distribution repository, manually create a symbolic link as the root:

  • For Intel® 64 and AMD64 architectures:
    ln -s /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
  • For ARMv8:
    ln -s /lib64/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 /lib64/ld-lsb-aarch64.so.3
Distribution Required Packages
Debian® lsb-core
Ubuntu® lsb-core
Red Hat® redhat-lsb
SUSE® lsb

Application Builder

The Application Builder is supported in the Windows® operating system.

Model Manager

The capability to use a local Model Manager database is included with all licenses except the class kit license. When using a local Model Manager database, it needs to be located on your computer and cannot be placed on a network or cloud drive. Installation and connection to a central Model Manager server is available with a floating network license.

Add-In for Microsoft® PowerPoint® and Microsoft® Word

The COMSOL add-in for PowerPoint® and Word are compatible with these versions: 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2021 on the Windows® operating system. PowerPoint® and Word 2010 Starter are not supported. If you are using Microsoft 365, PowerPoint® and Word must be installed on the computer — the add-ins require a version of PowerPoint® and Word that supports VSTO add-ins.

1 Microsoft® HPC Pack for the respective Windows Server version is required.

2 All computers in the cluster must use the same Linux® version and should have similar hardware. It is recommended that Open Fabric Interface (OFI) 1.5.0 or higher is installed. If you are using RDMA-capable network fabrics, a DAPL 1.2 or later version-compliant driver or library is required. The software is usually provided with your hardware. The libatomic package should be installed on all cluster nodes when using MPICH2.

COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.1 has been validated on systems compatible with the Intel HPC Platform Specification and thus will be compatible with Intel® Select Solutions for Simulation and Modeling.

For information on how you can run COMSOL Multiphysics® and COMSOL Server™ in the cloud, please view this page.

Officially Supported Compilers

COMSOL Multiphysics® provides external C interfaces for external functions, external materials, and external C libraries in the Application Builder.

Windows® macOS(Intel) macOS (Apple Silicon) Linux®(Intel® 64 and AMD64) Linux® (ARMv8)
External C Interfaces Microsoft Visual Studio® 2017 Intel® Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for C++ macOS 20.4 (also known as Intel® C++ Compiler version 19.1.3.301) with Apple LLVM version 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.62) is officially supported Apple clang version 13.0.0 (LLVM 12) Intel® Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for C++ Linux® 20.4 (also known as Intel® C++ Compiler version 19.1.3.304) with GCC 9.4.0 is officially supported GCC 12.2.0
Java® API JDK 8 and 11 JDK 8 and 11 JDK 8 and 11 JDK 8 and 11 JDK 8 and 11

COMSOL Multiphysics® is built and tested with the above C/C++ compilers. Please note that later versions of these C/C++ compilers may also be compatible with the external C interfaces. JRE 8 and 11 are supported when using the COMSOL API for use with Java® API in client/server mode with the jar files listed in <installation dir>/bin/comsolclientpath.txt. JRE 11 is supported when using the COMSOL API for use with Java® API in standalone mode with the jar files listed in <installation dir>/bin/comsolpath.txt.

Java Environment

COMSOL is shipped with OpenJDK 11.0.13. You can choose an alternative Java® 11 version 11.0.9.1 or later during installation.

Graphics System Requirements

COMSOL recommends hardware rendering for performance reasons. Hardware rendering requires drivers that support OpenGL® version 2.1 or later. Windows® operating system users may also use DirectX® version 9.

To use all rendering features available when Optimize for Quality is set in the Graphics preferences, graphics memory of 2 GB or more is recommended.

The graphics cards listed above have been rigorously tested for compatibility with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Please note, however, that other AMD® or NVIDIA® graphics cards may also be compatible with COMSOL Multiphysics®. Graphics cards that belong to the same model series as one of the cards listed above are more likely to be compatible with COMSOL Multiphysics®.

For hardware acceleration on Linux®, use proprietary drivers from your graphics card vendor, such as NVIDIA®; otherwise, use COMSOL® software rendering. The Nouveau video driver is only supported for software rendering.

Note: This information is provided for your benefit but should not be used as a substitute for your own investigation of the system requirements that may be appropriate for your use of COMSOL® software or other software, given your particular circumstances. Systems and hardware change regularly, which may impact any determination of which system requirements are appropriate for you.
