For over a hundred years, NPL has maintained the measurement standards in the UK. COMSOL CAE software will help NPL to improve the accuracy and consistency of measurements regardless of the effects of multiphysics. This will ensure more accurate measurements for engineering, government, business and society.
With COMSOL, NPL will now be able to simulate how acoustics, heat transfer, chemical reactions, microfluidics, CFD, MEMS, optics[DA1] , Photonics, electromagnetics will influence measurements. This will allow for improved standards and sensor devices.
Louise Wright, Principal Research Scientist at NPL said, “COMSOL Multiphysics has already supported the development and analysis of equipment and experiments in areas ranging from improving the realization of the international temperature scale of 1990 (ITS-90), to designing microfabricated ion traps for applications in quantum information processing, quantum metrology, and optical clocks. The new licensing agreement will help us to quickly respond to measurement challenges in new applications, and be confident in the knowledge that we are using a reliable software for our multiphysics simulations.”
Wen Zhang, Managing Director of COMSOL said, “In an industry where precision and accuracy are of the utmost importance, NPL’s continued use of COMSOL Multiphysics demonstrates the software’s strength for modeling coupled physics effects in this area.”
