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 example demonstrates how to use the Poroelasticity multiphysics coupling between the Solid Mechanics and Darcy's Law interfaces to model linear biphasic poroviscoelastic behavior of soft biological tissues. The implementation is verified using two numerical benchmarks from the ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to set up a fully coupled poroviscoelastic model of biological tissues. The model is benchmarked by simulating a cyclic uniaxial tension–compression test on human brain tissue. Read More
This tutorial uses the submodeling technique to accurately resolve the stress concentrations in a wheel rim. First a global model is solved to obtain the displacements, which are then used as boundary conditions in a local model of the region where the stress concentrations occur. Read More
Laminated composite shells made from graphite–epoxy fiber-reinforced plies are widely used in many applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. Evaluating their structural integrity under applied loads is essential for ensuring reliable designs. This example demonstrates ... Read More
The strength reduction technique is a tool to find the factor of safety (FOS) in geotechnical problems, particularly in slope stability analyses. To determine the factor of safety of the slope, the strength properties in the Mohr–Coulomb model are gradually reduced until failure occurs. ... Read More
Modeling the penetration of a needle into soft materials, such as gelatin, involves several complex mechanical challenges, including large deformations, high friction, contact forces, and material failure. This example simulates the needle insertion process into tissue-like materials ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to model a gyroscope based on the birdbath resonator gyroscope (BRG) design. The BRG is a type of Coriolis vibratory gyroscope (CVG) invented at the University of Michigan as a navigation-grade gyroscope in the mm-scale. This tutorial shows how the ... Read More
This model demonstrates the filtration of grains of three different sizes as they pass through two vibrating sieves of different hole sizes. Read More
The thermal effects of a laser beam incident on a Semiconductor Saturable Absorber Mirror (SESAM) are simulated under a range of incident beam powers. This is done in two steps. The first study simulates the multiphysics combination of the saturated absorption of the beam on a SESAM, ... Read More
The purpose of this application is to generate response spectra from a time history which can consist of either measured data on a file, or an analytical function. Primarily, the target is to provide input to a response spectrum analysis. The graphs can, however, also be used to ... Read More
