COMSOL Joins PTC® Partner Advantage™ Program

BURLINGTON, MA (October 10, 2008) - COMSOL, Inc., the developer of COMSOL Multiphysics, the industry-leading integrated software environment that enables engineers and scientists to model and simulate any physics-based system, announced today that it has joined PTC’s Partner Advantage Program at the Silver Tier.

The PTC Partner Advantage Program enables companies worldwide to join with PTC in delivering its comprehensive product development system to their mutual customers. Inclusion in the partner program, which provides access to a comprehensive suite of capabilities, followed an extensive review of COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software and its ability to work with PTC’s Pro/ENGINEER parametric MCAD/CAM/CAE files.

“Engineers, scientists, and researchers throughout industry and academia worldwide use COMSOL to innovate the products and technologies that will shape our future,” said Bernt Nilsson, senior vice president, marketing, COMSOL. “Many of our users rely on Pro/ENGINEER to create superior product designs. We're excited to provide our users with the benefits of this partnership with PTC and its Pro/ENGINEER product development system.”

“The partner program is comprised of software providers selected for their expertise. Through our review process, COMSOL demonstrated its capabilities in coupled-physics modeling and simulation for engineers and scientists,” said Andy Barlow, senior director, business development, PTC. “The addition of COMSOL to the PTC Partner Advantage Program offers Pro/ENGINEER users a powerful solution for conducting realistic multiphysics simulations of their designs and is a great addition to the program.”

“We're pleased that PTC views COMSOL Multiphysics as important to its customers,” said Nilsson. “And we are delighted that COMSOL has been included in the Partner Advantage Program.”
