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 is a model of a MEMS microphone solved in the frequency domain including the DC prestress effects. The model is set up using the Electromechanics multiphysics interface, Thermoviscous Acoustics, and Pressure Acoustics. The microphone consists of a perforated plate and a prestressed ... Read More
This example illustrates the modeling of vibration and noise in a 5-speed synchromesh gearbox of a manual transmission vehicle. A transient multibody analysis is performed to compute the gearbox vibration for the specified engine speed and external load. The normal acceleration of the ... Read More
This example shows how to model a deep excavation. The main application area of this type of modeling is in civil engineering. In this case, the in situ lateral pressure acting on the retaining wall during the soil excavation is modeled with boundary loads. The soil assumes Drucker ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to use the Control Function feature to perform shape optimization on a rectangular horn for an improved on axis response. The results of the initial design are exported to a new component via a Filter dataset. Further, the off-axis spatial response is improved ... Read More
Many trucks are equipped with cranes for load handling. Such cranes have a number of hydraulic cylinders, controlling the motion, and several mechanisms. The cylinders and mechanisms that make up the crane are subjected to large forces when handling heavy loads. In order to determine ... Read More
This model studies the temperature effects on the viscoelastic stress relaxation in a long thick-walled cylinder. In particular, decay of the stresses under the influence of the temperature field during a period of two hours is studied. A four-term generalized Maxwell model represents ... Read More
A thermoacoustic engine is a device with no moving parts that can generate acoustic energy from temperature gradients within the engine. It uses the relationship between the movement of oscillating air and the temperature changes in the air compressed and expanded by the acoustic waves. ... Read More
This app allows to calculate the absorption coefficient and surface impedance of a sound absorbers for normal and random incidences. The computed quantities can be used when setting up boundary conditions in a Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain model or a Ray Acoustics model. The ... Read More
A thin-walled metal frame with a central cutout, modeled using the Shell interface, is subjected to twisting and bending. Around the cutout the stresses are higher than the yield stress, thus the material undergoes plastic deformation over the loading history. Read More
Laminated composite shells made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) are common in a large variety of applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. Evaluation of the structural integrity of a laminated composite shell for a set of applied loads is necessary to make the ... Read More
