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.
Transfer Matrix of a Tube and Coupler Measurement Setup
This tutorial computes the transfer matrix of a tube and coupler measurement test setup. This type of setup is used for standardized testing, for example, for miniature loudspeakers or hearing aids. The Port boundary condition in Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain is used together ... Read More
Response of a Rotor Under the Influence of Seal Forces
The fluid flow in seals causes a strong restoring radial force, opposing the shaft motion. Also, there is a cross coupled force due to the axial variation of the circumferential flow. The first type of force always has a stabilizing effect on the rotor, whereas the second one in certain ... Read More
Busbar, AC Analysis
This is a busbar configuration with an AC analysis. The configuration is similar to the introductory tutorial in the book Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics. However, two conductors are added to represent a more realistic case of magnetic fields surrounding the busbar. The results ... Read More
Holographic Page Data Storage Simulation
This model simulates a holographic page data storage system. The studies include the recording and retrieval processes. The object beam encrypting 8-bit data is focused into a holographic material by a Fourier lens (Fourier transformation). In the recording process, the object beam ... Read More
Dzhanibekov Effect
The Dzhanibekov effect, also called the intermediate axis theorem or tennis racket theorem, describes the behavior of a rigid body with three distinct principal moments of inertia. This simulation app can be used to test the Dzhanibekov effect in three different geometries, including a ... Read More
Optimization of a Waveguide Iris Bandpass Filter — Polynomial Version
A waveguide filter is designed using shape optimization. The irises of the initial geometry are optimized to ensure good bandpass response and out-of-band rejection, while maintaining the double mirror symmetry. Read More
Uniaxial Loading of a Shape Memory Alloy Using the Souza–Auricchio Model
The model includes a compilation of benchmark examples included in the text book: Shape Memory Alloys: Modeling and Engineering Applications. D. Lagoudas Ed. Springer 2008. The model uses the Souza–Auricchio model and shows the thermomechanical properties of a NiTi alloy sample ... Read More
Setting Up a Boundary Layer Mesh Domain for Inductive Heating
This model demonstrates a technique for partitioning a mesh based upon the element type. By first meshing with a boundary layer and then partitioning and creating a new mesh, it is possible to avoid modeling the interior volume of inductively heated parts, where the skin depth is small ...

Homogenized Model of a Corrugated Sheet
This example presents a homogenized model of a corrugated sheet based on a unit cell approach. The numerically obtained equivalent stiffness matrices are compared with various analytical models. Two corrugation profiles, trapezoidal and round, are considered in this example. Read More
Geometric Parameter Optimization of a Tuning Fork
This model computes the fundamental eigenfrequency and eigenmode for a tuning fork that is synchronized from Pro/ENGINEER 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
