COMSOL Compiler™

Create and Share Standalone Applications Built in COMSOL Multiphysics®

COMSOL Compiler™ makes it easy to share knowledge and expertise in the form of modeling and simulation applications with anyone. When COMSOL Compiler™ is added to the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation platform, it can convert the applications built in COMSOL Multiphysics® into standalone applications with the click of a button. The compiled applications can be run without a COMSOL Multiphysics® or COMSOL Server™​ license, providing full control over simulations and allowing distribution at the user's discretion.

How It Works

Applications created with the COMSOL Multiphysics® Application Builder can be compiled into standalone executable files that can be run on the Windows® and Linux® operating systems and macOS. (Note: The Windows® version of COMSOL Multiphysics® is needed to build applications.) Applications are compiled with a simple click in the Application Builder user interface. A custom splash screen and desktop icon can be specified by modifying the options in the Executable settings window in the Application Builder. The splash screen will be displayed upon starting the compiled application.

About the COMSOL Compiler™ License

COMSOL Compiler™ is available through named single-user license, CPU-locked license, or floating network license options as an add-on to a COMSOL Multiphysics® license of the same type. COMSOL Compiler™ can be used to compile applications that include functionality from any add-on products to COMSOL Multiphysics® with the following exceptions: Material Library, LiveLink™ for Simulink®, and File Import for CATIA® V5. Compiled applications do not support the batch processing or cluster computing options of a COMSOL Multiphysics® floating network license.
