Making Multiphysics fast and convenient

Mimicking real life interactions in complex products like automobiles or aircraft often requires a Multiphysics approach. It requires combining, for example, simulations of combustion, heat transfer, fluid flow and stress analysis to truly understand whether an engine is going to perform reliably in real-world conditions.

As computer memory grows and software developers learn how to create efficient codes, practical Multiphysics is expanding. However, challenges remain beyond the technical-the sheer intellectual complexity in creating simulations and scenarios that span such a range of knowledge. Increasing technical capabilities now highlight some human limitations: creating a valid Multiphysics model often is confined to a small group of highly specialized, highly educated ‘power’ users.
