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 tutorial model of the Joule heating effect in a busbar demonstrates how to synchronize an assembly between the Inventor® software and the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, how to modify the geometry from COMSOL Multiphysics®, and how to run a geometric parametric ... Read More
This example shows how to use response spectrum analysis to verify the integrity of a structure that is exposed to an earthquake. The building is modeled as a steel frame, using beam elements. Displacements and stresses are computed. Read More
This model computes the fundamental eigenfrequency and eigenmode for a tuning fork that is synchronized from SOLIDWORKS® via the LiveLink™ interface. The length of the fork is then optimized so that the tuning fork sounds the note A, 440 Hz. Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to model the band-to-band tunneling across a p–n junction. The tunneling effect is imitated by defining the User-Defined Recombination domain feature which makes the electrons disappear from the conduction band on the n-side and holes disappear from the ... Read More
This model studies the heat conduction in a building structure separating two floors from the external environment. Four materials with distinct thermal conductivities k compose the structure. The exterior and interior boundaries are facing environments respectively at 0°C and 20°C. The ... Read More
This example simulates Trichel pulses produced by negative corona discharge under a point-to-plate configuration. The electron density and the electric field are obtained, as well as the discharge current. The discharge current clearly shows the pulsating characters. Each current pulse ... Read More
This tutorial model shows the setup of a 2D axisymmetric stress analysis, through contact, of a 3D threaded pipe fitting. The example involves synchronizing the 3D SOLIDWORKS® geometry and selections, which specify the faces in contact, with the 2D geometry in COMSOL  ... Read More
This tutorial model of the Joule heating effect in a busbar demonstrates how to synchronize an assembly between the SOLIDWORKS® software and the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, how to modify the geometry from COMSOL Multiphysics®, and how to run a geometric ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to simulate the propagation of guided waves in a dielectric S-bent optical waveguide. The model demonstrates that the phase approximation, required by the Electromagnetic Waves, Beam Envelopes interface, can be numerically calculated by solving an additional ... Read More
This model presents a 2D simulation of transient arc discharge movement along guided copper rails. While accurately modeling transient arcs typically requires a 3D simulation, the 2D approach offers greater efficiency and remains valuable for initial investigations and demonstration ... Read More
