COMSOL Meeting Münster - May 6, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Modeling and simulation have become a key component of scientific and engineering research, complementing experimentation and theoretical analysis.

COMSOL Multiphysics is an extensible multiphysics simulation platform that supports the modeling and coupling of a wide range of physical phenomena, including electromagnetics, fluid flow, heat transfer, (electro)chemistry, mechanics, acoustics, and defining user-defined systems of partial differential equations. It is widely used by research groups in Münster and around the world.

Join us at the COMSOL Meeting at University of Münster to see how multiphysics simulation can support your work. You’ll get an overview of how the COMSOL® software is applied across different technical areas, meet members of the COMSOL community, and discuss your own simulation goals. This is an opportunity to exchange ideas and discover practical ways to move your research projects forward.

Detailed information can be found on Learnweb and the COMSOL events page.

nwzCitrix is now Apps

As the final step in the Scientific Cloud (SC) migration to SCIT, the "Citrix" terminal server has also been moved.

It is accessible at apps.nwz.wwu.de since the beginning of the year, and all apps and most desktops have been migrated from nwzCitrix to the new apps platform. All users were notified of the migration when accessing nwzcitrix.nwz.wwu.de.

As of March 31, 2026, the old apps and desktops at nwzcitrix.nwz.wwu.de are no longer available, and on April 22, 2026, the old platform was permanently shut down and deleted.

If you notice anything missing on the new system, please contact the hotline.
