Can COMSOL input a temperature profile?

Hi,

My team and I are fire engineers who are interested in purchasing COMSOL . We are analysing how structures (such as buildings) deform/undergo stress in a fire. We were wondering whether COMSOL can apply FEA to a structure that experiences different temperatures over time (temperature profile)? For example, how will the same structure deform if a fire is 100° at 7:00pm and if the fire grows to 110° at 7:01pm?

Most software can only apply a constant temperature to the structure (100° at 7:00pm and 100° again at 7:01pm), however most fires increase in temperature over time.

Another question we had is can COMSOL model a fire at different locations? For example:
7:00pm: Fire at 100° on left side of building and another fire at 102° on right side of building
7:01pm: Fire now at 103° on left side of building and right side building fire is now at 105°

In summary, does COMSOL offer FEA analysis for structures experiencing different temperatures, at different locations over a time period?

Furthermore, how much does COMSOL cost for a team of 5?

Many thanks,

Tina .
