Product Spotlight

A computer running the COMSOL Multiphysics software with an alkaline electrolyzer stack model in the Graphics window.

It all starts with COMSOL Multiphysics®, the platform product for creating physics-based models and simulation applications. From there, you can add as many specialized modules and interfacing products as needed — they all connect seamlessly via the platform for a consistent modeling workflow regardless of what you are modeling.

Here are some suggested products to add to COMSOL Multiphysics® for modeling electrolyzers, fuel cells, and related technology:
