KTH Chooses COMSOL for Multiphysics Simulation

By DE Editors

KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, has entered into a three-year agreement with COMSOL (Burlington, MA) to provide access to multiphysics-based computer modeling and simulation to all students and staff at each of KTH’s Schools of science, engineering, and technology. The large-scale site license, in effect from now until 2011, will enable more than 16,000 teachers, researchers, and students to conduct simulations of real-world engineering and scientific problems using the latest versions of the COMSOL Multiphysics scientific-software environment and the COMSOL Script technical programming language.

Through this new agreement, students at KTH will be trained on the identical versions of software used at technology organizations worldwide for research and product development in areas as diverse as nanotechnology and space exploration.

KTH accounts for one-third of Sweden’s technical research and engineering education capacity at university level. Education and research cover a broad spectrum — from natural sciences to all the branches of engineering as well as architecture, industrial engineering and management, urban planning, work science, and environmental engineering. In addition to the research carried out by KTH’s Schools, a large number of both national and local Competence Centers are located at KTH.
