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.

Importing Curve Data and Lofting a Solid

One of the possible formats when working with scanned data is text files with coordinate data created from images for the slices of an MRI or CT scan. This is an example with 3D coordinate files from the cross sections of the different levels of a human head. Each coordinate file ... Read More

Ion Energy Distribution Function in a Capacitively Coupled Plasma Reactor

This model computes the ion energy distribution function (IEDF) for a commercial capacitively coupled plasma reactor. The results show good agreement with experimental data. Read More

Sheet Metal Forming

This example benchmarks a NAFEMS validation model of a friction contact problem with an elastoplastic material model. A thin metal sheet is forced into a die by a punch. Both the compressing displacement and the release of the punch are modeled in order to compute the forming angle (at ... Read More

Material Characteristics of a Laminated Composite Shell

This model serves the purpose of validation and verification of the Linear Elastic Material, Layered model in the Shell interface. In COMSOL Multiphysics, composites are analyzed either based on Layerwise 3D elasticity theory through the Layered Shell interface or based on FSDT-ESL ... Read More

Spherically Symmetric Transport

This model approximates 3D spherical transport using a 1D model. Many models of industrial-transport problems allow the assumption that the problem is spherically symmetric. This assumption is of great importance because it eliminates two space coordinates to result in a 1D problem that ... Read More

Modeling Gyroscopic Effect

Gyroscopes are used for measuring the orientation or maintaining the stability of airplanes, spacecraft, and submarines vehicles in general. They are also used as sensors in inertial guidance systems. This model demonstrates the modeling of a mechanical gyroscope. It analyzes the ... Read More

Thermal Curing Simulation

This example exemplifies how to model thermal curing using the base package of COMSOL Multiphysics. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Modeling the Thermal Curing Process". Read More

Vibration of a Squeezed Plate

This model illustrates how to perform prestressed eigenfrequency and frequency response analyses in a contact problem. A circular plate is squeezed between two thicker plates. The peak of the prestressed frequency response analysis is compared with the prestressed eigenfrequencies as ... Read More

Geometry optimization of a 3D complex-shaped coil for induction heating

The model features the optimization of the geometry of a complex-shaped coil similar to those for induction heating applications. The geometry if fully built and parametrized in COMSOL Multiphysics (taking advantage of Geometry Parts; geometrical construction requires Design Module). The ... Read More

Exporting and Importing a Topology-Optimized Hook

The model studies optimal material distribution in a hook, which is symmetric about the z plane and consists of a linear elastic material, structural steel. It is subjected to two distributed edge load cases: One at the tip of the hook and one along its lower inner curve. The geometry is ... Read More
