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 analyzes the hysteresis of the conductance-gate-voltage (G-Vg) curves of an InAs nanowire FET, using the density-gradient theory to add the effect of quantum confinement to the conventional drift-diffusion formulation, without a large increase of computational costs. The ... Read More
Electrochemical codeposition is a common low-cost method for producing metal alloys. This tutorial model demonstrates electrodeposition of a nickel (Ni)–phosphorous (P) alloy. The model accounts for charge and mass transport of a multitude of species along with multiple electrode ... Read More
The electrostatically tunable parallel plate capacitor in this example is a typical component in various MEMS devices for radio frequencies that range between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. You can modify the distance between the two plates, as the applied voltage changes, through a spring ... Read More
Corrosion induced due to alternating current (AC) is evident in the oil and gas industry, particularly when a pipeline is in close proximity to the high power transmission lines. A numerical model presented here first evaluates the effect of direct current (DC) applied potential on ... Read More
When electrical energy is converted into mechanical work in an electrical motor, the "wasted" energy that causes device heating is usually referred to as loss. The ratio of useful work to input energy, or the efficiency of the motor, is an important property for the overall energy ... Read More
This model presents two examples of topology optimization of the magnetic circuit of a loudspeaker driver. A first optimization is used to find the design of a nonlinear iron pole piece and top plate that maximize the BL factor at the resting position (small displacements), while ... Read More
This model analyzes lightning surges in an offshore wind farm. When a lightning strike with a current of 20 kA hit one wind turbine, the induced electric fields in adjacent wind turbines were computed. Read More
This model is an introduction to defining and verifying a satellite orbit, and computing the solar, albedo, and Earth infrared thermal loads. A 1U CubeSat is in a circular orbit at 400km altitude, inclination of 50°, and longitude of ascending node of 0°. The satellite is rotating slowly ... Read More
This model shows how to implement an anisotropic, incompressible, hyperelastic material for modeling soft collagenous tissue in arterial walls. The hyperelastic material model implemented is based on the articles: Holzapfel, G. A., Gasser, T. C., & Ogden, R. W. (2000), A new ... Read More
Predicting the noise radiation from a dynamic system gives designers insight into the behavior of moving mechanisms early in the design process. For example, consider a gearbox in which the change in the gear mesh stiffness causes vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted to the ... Read More
