Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around comparing COMSOL with other solver software packages, particularly in terms of accuracy and the types of solvers available. Participants are prompted to clarify the specific software and class of simulation problems they are referring to for a more focused discussion.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants inquire about the specific software packages and types of simulation problems to provide more relevant comparisons.
  • One participant mentions using TK Solver for mathematical problems and solvers, noting its limitation to Windows.
  • Another participant expresses frustration over broad questions and lack of effort in the thread, suggesting that it should be more focused.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus, as there are multiple competing views regarding the scope of the discussion and the appropriateness of the questions posed.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations in the initial query's clarity, which affects the ability to provide specific comparisons between COMSOL and other software packages.

Specifically what other software packages are you asking about? For what class of simulation problems? Please narrow your question some so that you can get reasonable answers. Thanks.

If you are talking about mathematical problems and solvers (including use of an Optimizer), I personally use TK Solver (https://www.uts.com/Products/TKSolver). Only available for Windows, though.

thanks, compared to all other finite element software?

Please stop making threads with broad questions and showing zero effort. This thread is closed. After you return from your temporary ban, please take care to show lots of effort in your future thread starts. Thank you.
