Built a synthetic .mph ZIP fixture from scratch and ran the skill's bundled inspect_mph() against it cold: it correctly pulled physics, solve status, and both Global Parameters straight out of the raw ZIP with zero JVM, exactly as the docs claim -- but that's the one path in this skill that needs no external software; everything else needs a real licensed COMSOL install plus the separate sim-cli tool.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 9/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What COMSOL Sim does
Routes an AI coding agent to the correct real COMSOL Multiphysics control path -- offline `.mph` archive inspection, local COMSOL doc search, direct `comsolbatch`/`comsolcompile` execution, or a live `comsolmphserver` Java-API session -- for building, running, or debugging COMSOL models. Triggers when a user asks a coding agent to build, inspect, run, or debug a COMSOL/COMSOL Desktop model, and explicitly excludes generic COMSOL theory questions.
How to install COMSOL Sim
git clone https://github.com/svd-ai-lab/sim-plugin-comsol
cd sim-plugin-comsol
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r src/sim_plugin_comsol/_skills/comsol ~/.claude/skills/comsol-sim
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger COMSOL Sim
-
/comsol-simRoutes agents to the right real COMSOL control path -- offline, batch, or live session.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Help me build a COMSOL model of heat transfer through a metal block -
Debug why my comsolbatch run isn't producing any output -
I have a saved .mph file, tell me what physics it uses without opening COMSOL
Frequently asked questions
- Is the COMSOL Sim skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from svd-ai-lab/sim-plugin-comsol. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does COMSOL Sim work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Built a synthetic .mph ZIP fixture from scratch and ran the skill's bundled inspect_mph() against it cold: it correctly pulled physics, solve status, and both Global Parameters straight out of the raw ZIP with zero JVM, exactly as the docs claim -- but that's the one path in this skill that needs no external software; everything else needs a real licensed COMSOL install plus the separate sim-cli tool.
- What is the COMSOL Sim SkillProof Score?
- 9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install COMSOL Sim?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use COMSOL Sim with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
