The Application Gallery features COMSOL Multiphysics® tutorial and demo app files pertinent to the electrical, structural, acoustics, fluid, heat, and chemical disciplines. You can use these examples as a starting point for your own simulation work by downloading the tutorial model or demo app file and its accompanying instructions.
Search for tutorials and apps relevant to your area of expertise via the Quick Search feature. Note that many of the examples featured here can also be accessed via the Application Libraries that are built into the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and available from the File menu.
This model demonstrates isoelectric focusing (IEF) of seven ampholytes in a column. The model is in 1D and is solved in a time-dependent simulation. Read More
This model example shows how to simulate basic electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) behavior in a printed circuit board (PCB). The model contains two analyses to evaluate radiated emissions from PCB traces, crosstalk between adjacent microstrip ... Read More
This model analyzes an RF MEMS switch consisting of a thin micromechanical bridge suspended over a dielectric layer. A DC voltage greater than the pull-in voltage is applied across the switch, causing the bridge to collapse onto the dielectric layer with a resulting increase in the ... Read More
A radio frequency quadrupole ion trap utilizes a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) in order to trap an ion beam. A continuous high energy ion beam is first cooled and converted into a spatially confined bunch, which can then be released with minimal heating of the beam. The device is also ... Read More
This model shows how to simulate a capacitively actuated surface micromachined accelerometer using the Electromechanics, Solid interface. It is based on a case study from the book Microsystem Design by Stephen D. Senturia (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 5th Edition, 2003, pages 513–525). Read More
This example demonstrates how to apply inverse uncertainty quantification (IUQ) using the Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) Module in COMSOL Multiphysics to calibrate uncertain material properties of a resistor based on measurement data. When experimental data such as resistance values are ... Read More
This tutorial uses a simple 1D model of a silicon solar cell to illustrate the basic steps to set up and perform a device physics simulation with the Semiconductor Module. A user-defined expression is used for the photo-generation rate and the result shows typical I–V and P–V curves of ... Read More
Mode analysis is a basic tool for a wide range of radio frequency and wave optics calculations because it allows for the investigation of mode characteristics in complex waveguide structures. In this tutorial model, you can find two examples that demonstrate typical settings and best ... Read More
This model deals with electrohydrodynamics (EHD), where a charge separation on the phase boundary between a liquid and air involves the formation of a charged layer. This charged layer allows for a net force to be induced at the interphase when a large electric field is applied. The ... Read More
At the electrode-electrolyte interface, there is a thin layer of space charge in a diffuse double layer. This may be of interest when modeling devices such as electrochemical capacitors and nanoelectrodes. This tutorial example shows how to couple the Nernst-Planck equations to the ... Read More
