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.
Lamb-wave resonators are useful components for many radio-frequency applications. This example shows how you model an aluminum nitride Lamb wave resonator and perform eigenfrequency and frequency-response analyses to characterize the device. The tutorial uses the Electric Currents in ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to model the switching between current and voltage excitations in Terminal boundary conditions. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Control Current and Voltage Sources with the AC/DC Module". Read More
This model analyzes Joule heating and thermal expansion in a bond wire in an LED. Its purpose is to estimate the temperature increase and the resulting mechanical stresses in the bond wire due to thermal expansion. The magnitude of these stresses can be used to assess the risk of fatigue ... Read More
A trimmer capacitor has a variable capacitance. One way of obtaining this is to use parallel facing electrodes with a variable overlap area. In this example, the capacitance can be changed by turning one electrode using a screwdriver. Typically a linear angular response is desired. ... Read More
As integrated circuit (IC) technology advances, with circuits becoming more powerful and compact, it is increasingly important to identify and prevent any cause of circuit failure. One particularly critical factor contributing to circuit failure is electromigration within the ... Read More
This example shows how to model Lithium diffusion in a silicon electrode that swells. The model shows how swelling-induced plastic deformation can increase the maximum state of charge (SOC). Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to model a gyroscope based on the birdbath resonator gyroscope (BRG) design. The BRG is a type of Coriolis vibratory gyroscope (CVG) invented at the University of Michigan as a navigation-grade gyroscope in the mm-scale. This tutorial shows how the ... Read More
Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is used to study the effect of manufacturing variation on the performance of Piezoelectric Energy Harvester. This tutorial shows how UQ studies are specified for a frequency domain study that calculates the energy harvester's power output. Read More
This model demonstrates how to tune the lowest natural frequency of the diaphragm of a MEMS microphone using Shape Optimization. The Stationary then Eigenfrequency study modifies the shape of the suspension springs that support the diaphragm. Although the model is in 3D, shape change is ... Read More
