LiveLink^™ for Pro/ENGINEER^®

The LiveLink for Pro/ENGINEER deliver a seamless integration of CAD and simulation. By establishing an associative connection between the two applications, a change of a feature in the CAD model automatically updates the geometry in COMSOL Multiphysics, while retaining physics settings. All parameters specified in Pro/ENGINEER can be interactively linked with your simulation geometry. This enables multiphysics simulation involving parametric sweeps and design optimization directly from within the CAD program.

The LiveLink for Pro/ENGINEER includes all the capabilities of the CAD Import Module. This lets you import and defeature files from all major CAD packages.
