Looking for software to simulate gas sensor mechanism

In summary, when looking for software to simulate gas sensor mechanisms, it is important to consider features such as the ability to model different gas types, sensitivity and selectivity, environmental conditions, and sensor materials. There are both commercial and open-source options available, with some popular open-source options including GasSim, Virtual Gas Sensor, and OpenSense. It is also important to check the specific capabilities of the software to ensure it can simulate the types of gas sensors needed and to validate the results with experimental data for accuracy.

Hello
I'm looking for a graphical software to simulate a gas sensor mechanism. I thought "comsol multiphysics" could help me to determine the sensing mechanism of semiconductor gas sensor , but I didn't find any thing about this.
I would appreciate you If you recommend an appropriate application except "quantum espresso" to help me.
