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.
An aperture is often used in electroplating baths in order to improve the uniformity of the deposited metal layer. This example simulates electroplating of a printed circuit board (PCB) in 3D using a secondary current distribution. The size and aspect ratio of the aperture is optimized ... Read More
This example illustrates how to combine different Creep material models. Here a Norton–Bailey model (primary creep) is combined with a Norton model (secondary creep). This example is a continuation of the model thermally induced creep. Read More
This example of a dipole antenna array demonstrates a cost-effective analysis using the Boundary Element Method (BEM). When dealing with a large array made of metallic radiators, the Finite Element Method (FEM) would necessitate greater computational resources. The simulation results ... Read More
This model, dealing with the current and potential distribution around one pair of electrodes, demonstrates how to synchronize and modify geometry in Inventor® by using the LiveLink™ interface with a parametric sweep. Read More
Trusses are structural members that can only sustain axial forces, but no bending or torsion. In the following example you first build and solve a simple 2D truss model using the 2D Truss interface. Later on, you analyze a 3D variant of the same problem using the 3D Truss interface. This ... Read More
The common electroanalytical method of exhaustive amperometric detection in a microscopic thin layer is modelled as a 1D-symmetric diffusion problem. The simulated result agrees with the analytical Cottrell equation at short times, and deviates as expected at long times when the ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Parameterized geometries Visualizing material appearance, color, and texture Multiple plots in the same window to visualize the results Options to visualize the results with different views using check boxes Microstrip patch antenna arrays are ... Read More
This model shows how to set up a uniaxial compression test on a prestressed soil sample. Due to uniaxial compression and simple initial stress values, it is possible to determine the vertical yield stress analytically. The soil sample is modeled with soil plasticity and the Mohr–Coulomb ... Read More
A lab-on-a-chip platform can be realized on a rotating disc by designing channels and other features to use the Coriolis or centrifugal forces to manipulate the flow. These forces are controlled by changing the angular velocity of the disc, so the platform is programmed by using a ... Read More
This example illustrates how to set up and solve a tank-in-series model in 0D using the Reaction Engineering interface. The model treats a series of three consecutive tank reactors. A feedback loop continuously adjusts the inlet concentration of the first tank to keep the concentration ... Read More
