This example illustrates a linear buckling analysis conducted for a corrugated conical shell, utilizing a single sector of the geometry along with cyclic symmetry periodicity edge conditions. The results are compared to those using the full shell geometry. Read More
In this multibody dynamics model of a simple counterweight trebuchet, a parametric sweep is used to study throwing distance as function of the sling length. For more details on performing a multibody analysis of a counterweight trebuchet, see this blog post: What Is the Physics Behind a ... Read More
The purpose of this model is to demonstrate pure rolling of a rigid wheel when given an initial forward velocity together with a prescribed lean about this direction. It is assumed that the the rolling motion of the wheel is not affected by contact such that all three components of the ... Read More
Find the optimal cross section areas of trusses in a structure given a prescribed set of limitations and a clear objective. The structure is made up of trusses which are elements that can only sustain axial forces. Read More
A demultiplexer is a device that directs different frequency bands to different outputs. In this tutorial model, we will design a demultiplexer by performing shape optimization on all initial circular boundaries in a sonic crystal (phononic crystal) configuration. The model uses shape ... Read More
This model demonstrates one way of using equation-based modeling for generative design by using the powerful mathematical expression capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics®. Read More
In this verification example, the built-in functionality for calculating dynamic coefficients in hydrodynamic bearings is validated. The results are compared with those obtained using the finite perturbation method to ensure consistency and accuracy. The model showcases how numerical ... Read More
During manufacturing or in-service use, the geometric shape of structural components can deviate from their intended design. For example, a hole may lose its perfectly circular form, making it important to measure and control this deviation. The process of quantifying such deviations is ... Read More
It can in many cases be difficult to get accurate material properties for porous materials. Measuring the properties to high precision can involve lengthy measurements using different techniques. It can therefore be interesting to understand how uncertainties in different material ... Read More
Solving very large pressure acoustics models in the frequency domain can be challenging. Several iterative solver suggestions exist for the default physics setups and the default quadratic Lagrange discretization. For very large models it can be advantageous to switch from quadratic to ... Read More
