Application Builder was released in October 2014 and is now available with COMSOL Multiphysics software version 5.0. The Application Builder allows COMSOL software users to build an intuitive interface to run any COMSOL model. COMSOL Multiphysics users are already building applications and exploring the benefits of sharing their models with colleagues and customers worldwide.

One such company is Arkansas Power Electronics Intl. (APEI), a manufacturer of high-power density and high performance power electronics products. APEI has found that the Application Builder can provide enormous benefits throughout the organization.
“I’m building applications to help us expedite our design processes,” says Brice McPherson, a Senior Staff Engineer at APEI. “Our engineers often spend time running analyses for the sales or manufacturing departments to find model results based on diverse conditions and requirements. The Application Builder will be hugely important for accelerating our work in this respect; any colleague outside of the engineering team will now be able to confidently run these studies by themselves, with no learning curve.”
The first application built by APEI looks at fusing current and ampacity of wire bonds—very small wires used to interconnect semiconductor devices with their packages.
The team at APEI envisions using the Application Builder for a variety of other projects, including applications to automate and streamline the calculation of wire bond inductance, package thermal performance, and more.
