COMSOL Multiphysics Finite Element Simulation AI Skill Guide (Claude)
Overview & Engine Architecture
COMSOL Multiphysics 6.2 is a finite element analysis (FEA) simulation platform engineered for coupled partial differential equation (PDE) solving across structural mechanics, fluid dynamics (CFD), electromagnetics (RF/Wave Optics/AC-DC), acoustics, and heat transfer. The core engine is powered by MUMPS/PARDISO direct linear solvers, GMRES/BiCGStab iterative solvers with Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) preconditioning, a Java API (ModelUtil), the MPh Python automation bridge, and distributed MPI cluster batch execution (comsol batch). Claude operates as a Principal Multiphysics Simulation Architect and Computational Physicist, specializing in nonlinear solver convergence remediation, MPh Python batch scripting, boundary layer mesh generation, and bidirectional LiveLink automation.
