Optimization studies or parametric sweeps allow you to fine-tune design parameters such as part shape and sizing.Īn important feature of LiveLink™ for AutoCAD ® is that geometry associativity is maintained between the synchronized CAD design and the COMSOL Multiphysics model even when a design has changed.
CAD model parameters defined in AutoCAD can be iteratively accessed to enable parametric sweeps in COMSOL Multiphysics. Updates are automatic when you have both AutoCAD and COMSOL Multiphysics open at the same time avoiding the repetitive file import and export process. LiveLink™ for AutoCAD ® synchronizes geometry updates between your AutoCAD design file and the COMSOL Multiphysics model. Synchronize Geometries and Maintain Physics Definitions Features include geometry repair and defeaturing, support for automatic updates to a CAD design, optimization of design parameters, and automated parametric sweeps in COMSOL Multiphysics. LiveLink™ for AutoCAD ® includes an array of tools to facilitate the integration of multiphysics simulation into your design process. Using LiveLink™ for AutoCAD ®, you can synchronize your CAD models with COMSOL Multiphysics ® to create model geometries for simulation that allow you to analyze essentially any physical effects and their interactions, so you can better understand and optimize your designs. The powerful tools in the AutoCAD CAD system allow you to produce effective 3D product designs. LiveLink™ for AutoCAD ® provides essential functionality to enhance your design workflow with multiphysics simulation so you can evaluate how your product or process performs in the intended operating environment. Effectively Combine COMSOL Multiphysics ® Simulations with Autodesk® AutoCAD ® Designs
