LiveLink™ for Solid Edge®

An oil rig structure immersed in seawater is protected by 52 sacrificial aluminum anodes. Before deploying the anodes, the Corrosion Module is used to optimize their positions for the best possible corrosion protection. Visualized is the electrolyte potential on the surface of the structure. The geometry model in Solid Edge is synchronized to COMSOL Multiphysics through LiveLink™ for Solid Edge®

LiveLink™ for Solid Edge®

LiveLink™ for the Solid Edge® CAD system delivers a seamless integration of CAD and simulation. By establishing an associative connection between the two applications, a change of a feature in the CAD model automatically updates the geometry in COMSOL Multiphysics, while retaining physics settings.

All parameters specified in Solid Edge® can be linked with your simulation geometry. This enables multiphysics simulation involving parametric sweeps and design optimization directly from within the CAD program.

All LiveLink for CAD products include all the capabilities of the CAD Import Module. This lets you import and defeature files from all major CAD packages.
