Industry Focus | Modelling and Simulation for Aerospace & Defence

The use of modelling and simulation for R&D was pioneered in the aerospace and defence industry, where COMSOL Multiphysics® has become a trusted project platform. New challenges — such as decarbonisation of aviation, electrification, integration of multiple sensors in digital twins, and new manufacturing processes — require high-fidelity modelling for efficient and reliable R&D processes.

Delivering on safety and performance is a core requirement when developing products for use in aerospace and defence. Modelling and simulation makes it possible to develop, test and verify new designs faster than relying on experiments and prototyping alone. It is also useful when direct measurement is impractical or impossible, such as due to harsh conditions or miniature device sizes. To build models that accurately represent the real world, industry leaders turn to multiphysics simulation.
