The Electric Discharge Module, an add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software, enables the understanding, analysis, and prediction of electric discharge behavior in gases, liquids, and solid dielectrics. This includes the study of streamers, corona, dielectric barrier, and arc discharges.

The applications of the Electric Discharge Module range from consumer electronics to high-voltage system components. With its capabilities to simulate lightning-induced electromagnetic pulses, electrostatic discharges, and related phenomena, the module is a vital tool for product development, helping to significantly reduce the costs associated with experimental testing and prototyping.

The module integrates seamlessly with other COMSOL products, including those for electromagnetics, structural mechanics, and fluid dynamics. This allows users to study the multiphysics effects often associated with electric discharges in a unified environment.

COMSOL Multiphysics® is a versatile simulation software used across all fields of engineering, manufacturing, and scientific research. The software provides fully integrated multiphysics and single-physics modeling capabilities, efficient model management, and user-friendly tools for creating simulation apps.

The analysis of electromagnetic systems and processes in the static and low-frequency range requires a versatile and powerful simulation tool. The AC/DC Module, an add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics® platform, provides a comprehensive set of modeling capabilities and numerical methods tailored for studying electromagnetic fields and addressing EMI/EMC through the solution of Maxwell's equations.

With the multiphysics capabilities of the COMSOL® software, it is also possible to account for the influence of other physical effects, such as heat transfer, structural mechanics, and acoustics, on an electromagnetic model.

The Wave Optics Module, an add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics® platform, is used by engineers and scientists to analyze, predict, and study the propagation of electromagnetic waves and resonance effects in optical applications. By examining electromagnetic field distributions, transmission and reflection coefficients, and power losses in a proposed design, this type of simulation enables the development of more efficient and high-performing products and technologies.

To optimize designs for photonic devices, integrated optics, waveguides, couplers, fiber optics, and more, it is crucial to consider real-world conditions. The multiphysics capabilities of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software allow you to investigate how additional physical effects influence optical structures, such as stress-optic, electro-optic, and acousto-optic effects, as well as electromagnetic heating.

The RF Module helps you optimize your designs by analyzing effects such as electromagnetic wave propagation and resonance phenomena in high-frequency applications. Use the RF Module to understand and predict the behavior of components used in the high-frequency, microwave, and millimeter-wave industries.

Designers of high-frequency and microwave components must ensure that their products are both reliable and robust. Traditional electromagnetic modeling often focuses solely on the effects of electromagnetic waves but neglects real-world operating conditions. With multiphysics modeling, you can include additional physical effects, such as temperature rise and structural deformations, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of your design's performance.

The RF Module, an add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics® platform, allows you to analyze high-frequency designs under both ideal and multiphysics conditions – including microwave and RF heating – all within a unified software environment.
