Operating System Requirements In addition to the operating system requirements listed below see the for specific requirements for the CAD Import Module, the Design Module, and the LiveLink™ product suite. Windows ® Mac OS X Linux ® 64-bit Operating Systems Windows ® 10 Windows ® 8.1 Windows ® 8 Windows ® 7 Windows Server ® 2012 R2 Windows Server ® 2012 Windows Server ® 2008 R2 Windows Server ® 2008 Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 Windows HPC Server 2008 Windows Vista ® Mac OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, and 10.11 Debian ® 5, 6, 7, and 8 Red Hat ® Enterprise Linux ® 5 1, 6, and 7 Ubuntu ® 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS OpenSUSE ® 13.2 1 Only supported for server, batch, and cluster operation.

OS Specific System Requirements Linux ® GNU C Library version 2.8 or later 1 Linux ® kernel 2.6.18 or later Intel ® Pentium ® IV or AMD Athlon ® XP processor or later FlexNet ® requires Linux Standard Base (LSB). 1If you have an older version of libstdc than 6.0.9 you may need to start COMSOL with the option -forcegcc Help System The following browsers are not supported when the Help mode is set to Browser. Google Chrome.

Microsoft Edge Help System on Linux In order for the help system to work on Linux, the following packages need to be installed:. Debian and Ubuntu: libwebkitgtk-1.0-0. RHEL: webkitgtk (not included in RHEL7 but available through ). openSuSE: libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 or libwebkit-10-2 depending on version. If these requirements are not met, COMSOL crashes when accessing the help system. FLEXnet License Manager The system requirements for the license manager are the same as for COMSOL Multiphysics. FLEXnet version 11.12 is used on all platforms.

The version of lmgrd must be the same or higher than the FLEXnet version used by COMSOL. FlexNet License Manager on Linux Linux Standard Base (LSB) is now required for Linux on the license server computer. If the LSB core package is missing from the distribution repository, manually create a symbolic link as root: /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 - ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 Distribution Required Packages Debian lsb-core Ubuntu lsb-core RedHat redhat-lsb SUSE lsb Application Builder The Application Builder is supported in the Windows ® operating system. Parallel System Requirements. Windows ® Mac OS X Linux ® Shared-memory Parallelism All supported versions of Windows ® All supported versions of Mac OS X All supported Linux ® distributions Distributed-memory Parallelism Windows Server ® 2012 R2 Windows Server ® 2012 Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 Windows HPC Server 2008 Not Supported Red Hat ® Enterprise Linux ® 5, 6, and 7 Debian ® 6, 7 Ubuntu ® 12.04, 14.04 All computers in the cluster must use the same Linux ® version and should have similar hardware. It is recommended that OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) 1.4 or higher is installed.

Comsol Multiphysics Cost

If you are using an RDMA-capable network fabrics a DAPL 1.2 or later version compliant driver or library is required. The software is usually provided with your hardware.

COMSOL is a proud member of the program and certifies COMSOL Multiphysics with every new version. The certification process ensures that COMSOL Multiphysics will seamlessly work for parallel processing and cluster modeling on any hardware that has also been certified as being Intel Cluster Ready. Graphics System Requirements COMSOL ® recommends hardware rendering for performance reasons. Hardware rendering requires drivers that support OpenGL® version 1.5. Windows ® users may also use DirectX® version 9 on the local console. Hardware rendering requires at least 24-bit color graphics.

Comsol Multiphysics 4.3 For Mac Mac

The Optimize for Quality setting in the Graphics preferences requires OpenGL® 2.0. Software rendering also supports 16-bit color graphics. For performance reasons, we recommend that the graphics card has at least 512 MB memory.
