Simulation for Pharmaceutical Innovation

Engineers and researchers working in the pharmaceutical industry benefit from incorporating the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software into their R&D workflow. Modeling and simulation helps streamline the process for creating new and better products and treatments while reducing costs and the need for in vitro and in vivo testing.

The COMSOL Multiphysics® software features a consistent user experience, regardless of engineering application and physics phenomena. Add-on products provide specialized functionality for fluid flow, microfluidics, chemical reactions, heat transfer, and other physics relevant to pharmaceutical applications.
