The government requires a flexible and powerful multi-physics simulation software package and COMSOL is the only package that can simulate the requisite range of physical processes (including heat transfer, fluid flow, solid deformation, and chemical reactions) with the flexibility to adjust parameters for the alien settings on other planetary bodies.



The government issued a sources sought notice 140G0318Q0020 which resulted in no known qualified businesses interested and capable of providing the services for this software in which competition can be obtained.
