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.
Example of a moving-coil loudspeaker where lumped parameters represent the behavior of the electrical and mechanical components. The Thiele-Small parameters (small-signal parameters) serve as input to the lumped model, which is represented using the Electric Circuit interface. The ... Read More
Chain drives are used to transmit power between shafts separated by a distance. This example demonstrates the 3D modeling of a roller chain sprocket assembly consisting of a roller chain wrapped around two elastic sprockets. The motion of one sprocket is transmitted through the chain to ... Read More
In this example, the dynamics of a hopping hoop is simulated. A rigid rolling ring with a point mass on the perimeter can, under certain conditions, jump up from the surface on which it is rolling. The effects of different parameters like initial velocity and friction are explored. You ... Read More
Roller conveyors are commonly used in warehouses, manufacturing units and baggage handling applications to transport objects from one place to other by gravity, power, or manually. A typical roller conveyor consists of an array of moving rollers arranged either in a straight or curved ... Read More
This example illustrates the modeling of a sequential manual transmission, where the gears are selected sequentially with the help of a rotating drum. The shift drum has two grooves of specific profile carved around the circumference. As the drum rotates, the grooves on the drum guide a ... Read More
This tutorial application demonstrates how to model a hinge joint between two bodies in COMSOL Multiphysics. It also demonstrates various features available for joints, including Constraints, Locking, Spring, Damper, Prescribed Motion, and Friction. Many real structures can be ... Read More
This example illustrates the modeling of a multibody mechanism submerged in a fluid. The mechanism consists of two fins connected to a central rigid body through hinge joints. A transient fluid–structure interaction analysis is performed to simulate the swimming behavior of the ... Read More
This model simulates the dynamics of a shock absorber used in an aircraft landing gear mechanism. It analyzes the stresses and heat generated in the landing gear components due to energy dissipated by the shock absorber. A prismatic joint with a spring and damper is used to model the ... Read More
