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 app demonstrates the following: Designing an app for small screens such as smartphones User-interface navigation with a top menu typically used on websites Geometry parts and parameterized geometries Visualizing periodicity of a geometry with material rendering Warning messages on ...

A magnetic brake consists of a permanent magnet, which induces currents in a rotating copper disk. The resulting eddy currents interact with the magnetic flux to produce Lorentz forces and subsequently a braking torque. This 3D problem is solved using a stationary formulation for the ... Read More
Power inductors are a central part of many low-frequency power applications. They are, for example, used in the switched power supply for the motherboard and all other components in a computer. Computer simulations are necessary in the design of such inductors. This model calculates the ... Read More
Feeding a waveguide from a coaxial cable is a straightforward way to achieve electromagnetic waves inside a waveguide. Due to its small size and circular shape, the cable contributes significantly to the overall size of the problem. It is therefore necessary to keep the cable as short as ... Read More
In small PEM fuel cell systems (in the sub-100 W range) no active devices for cooling or air transport are normally used. This is due to the desire to minimize parasitic power losses from pumps and fans, and to reduce the system complexity, size, and cost. The reactants at the cathode ... Read More
All integrated circuits (ICs) — especially high-speed devices — produce heat. In today’s dense electronic system layouts, heat sources are many times placed close to heat-sensitive ICs. Designers of printed circuit boards often need to consider the relative placement of heat ... Read More
The drive for miniaturizing electronic devices has resulted in today’s extensive use of surface-mount electronic components. An important aspect in electronics design and the choice of materials is a product’s durability and lifetime. For surface-mount resistors and other components ... Read More
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
The model demonstrates the basics of the 3-omega method. The coupled electromagnetic heating problem is solved in a solid sample which is heated by a thin copper strip, deposited on the surface of a sample. Analyzing the frequency dependence of the voltage oscillation amplitude, we ... Read More
This is a conceptual model illustrating how to couple fluid-structure interaction, heat transfer, and thermal expansion. A bimetallic strip in an air channel is heated so that it bends. After some time, an airflow with an inlet temperature which varies in time is introduced. As a ... Read More
