BURLINGTON, MA, April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- COMSOL, a global leader in modeling and simulation software, announced the program for its COMSOL Day: Simulation Apps & Digital Twins event happening on Thursday, May 1, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT. This online event will feature keynote speakers from AltaSim Technologies, Boston Scientific, Donaldson, Littelfuse, and PhysAI. It will also include COMSOL-led technical sessions on how companies can build and use apps and digital twins to foster a more collaborative and innovative approach to problem-solving.
"Apps help extend simulation and data throughout an entire company, whether it's in the field, a lab, or factory," said David Kan, VP of sales strategy at COMSOL, Inc. "I'm looking forward to hearing the speakers discuss the innovative ways that they, along with their engineering teams, are using the Application Builder in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to extend the use of simulation across their organizations."
The first keynote talk, "Empowering Innovation: The Role of Democratized Numerical Simulations in Engineering", will be held by Kyle Koppenhoefer of AltaSim Technologies. During the talk, Koppenhoefer will discuss the advantages of simulation and how one way to democratize simulation is through apps developed by simulation experts. He will also discuss how AltaSim has successfully developed and deployed simulation apps for numerous companies.
In the second keynote, "Using the Application Builder in COMSOL Multiphysics® to Coordinate Complex Simulation Behavior", Paul Belk of Boston Scientific will discuss how the Application Builder in COMSOL Multiphysics can be used to create a custom user interface (UI) with Java code. During the talk, Belk will demonstrate a UI that is based on simple tables for specifying pulses and other characteristics of a time-dependent battery simulation.
Next, Daryl Quam of Donaldson will present his keynote talk, "Breaking Barriers: Transforming Simulation Access with the COMSOL API, Application Builder, and Model Manager", which will focus on how Donaldson bridged the gap between expert-driven modeling and enterprise-wide accessibility through simulation apps. Quam will discuss how his team built intuitive, application-driven workflows that enabled engineers, scientists, and even nonspecialists to run complex models without compromising accuracy or control.
Later in the day, Daniel Smith of PhysAI will give his keynote talk, "Real-Time Inverse Modeling of Electromagnetic Systems Using Surrogate Models and Deep Neural Networks". Smith will discuss the use of COMSOL Multiphysics for modeling high-frequency electromagnetic systems and simulating intricate phenomena in the GHz range. He will further discuss how combining these strengths with surrogate models and neural networks can push the boundaries of real-time inverse problem-solving.
In the final keynote talk of the day, "The Development of Fuse Simulation Applications and Machine Learning Acceleration", Ying Sun of Littelfuse will discuss the ready-to-use fuse simulation apps she and her team developed, which enable the app user to focus on the input parameters and computational results that matter to them. She will also discuss how surrogate models were used to accelerate model evaluation, providing app users with a more interactive and responsive experience.
In addition, COMSOL-led sessions will cover:
- Functionality in COMSOL Multiphysics for creating surrogate models
- How to build apps and digital twins
- Compiling simulation apps into standalone executable files with COMSOL Compiler™
A Q&A session will follow each keynote talk and technical presentation. There will also be an open-discussion session where attendees are welcome to ask a panel of COMSOL staff any questions they may have.
