Biomedical Simulation for Device Innovation
By using COMSOL Multiphysics® for biomedical simulation, engineers and scientists can create and test designs and processes virtually, taking into account all factors that impact the safety and efficacy of medical devices and treatments. This streamlines the development and regulatory processes for creating new and better products while reducing costs and the need for in vitro and in vivo testing.
Real-World Biomedical Simulation Examples
The COMSOL Multiphysics® software features a consistent user interface, regardless of engineering application and physics phenomena. For simulation in the medical device field, add-on products provide specialized functionality and multiphysics interfaces and couplings for fluid flow, heat transfer, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, and other physics involved in modeling the complexity of the human body and biomedical applications.
