When running the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and the Revit® building information management software side by side you can transfer the geometry of room volumes, architectural elements, and conceptual masses from Revit® to COMSOL Multiphysics using the LiveLink™ interface. In the other direction, from COMSOL Multiphysics to Revit®, the interface enables you to update the dimensions of conceptual masses in the Revit® project. If running the software side by side is not available — for example, when you want to run your COMSOL Multiphysics simulation on a different platform from where your CAD software is installed — the LiveLink interface also provides a file-based offline synchronization mode.

You can also analyze designs using simulation apps that connect to Revit® by utilizing the LiveLink interface. With the provided tools you can easily connect to COMSOL Server™ from within Revit® to browse and run simulation apps, including those that use geometry synchronized with the CAD software.
