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.
A capacitor, in its simplest form, is a two terminal electrical device that stores electric energy when a voltage difference is applied across the terminals. The stored electric energy is proportional to the applied voltage squared and is quantified by the capacitance of the device. This ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Playing a sound at a specific computed frequency Selecting different materials from a combo box Visualizing material appearance, color, and texture Choice of three different user interface layouts for computer, tablet, or smartphone Custom ... Read More
This example shows how to set up multiple sandwiched thin layers with different thermal conductivities in two different ways. First, the composite is modeled as a 3D object. In the second approach, the thin domains are modeled with thermal resistors in the Lumped Thermal System ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to plot the interference pattern from the combination of two rays with slightly different optical path length. A simple Michelson interferometer is used to achieve a change of optical path length by slightly moving one of the mirrors. Read More
A homopolar generator is composed of an electrically conductive rotating disc placed in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of rotation. The motion of the conductor through the static magnetic field induces Lorentz currents in the disc. By connecting the outside ... Read More
HowTo: Using the EC External I-Terminal The External Couplings in the CIR interface has two flavors that can be used. External I vs. U and External I-terminal. The former has two nodes (it represents a differential external voltage measurement) and when coupling to an EC Terminal ... Read More
Helmholtz resonators are used in exhaust systems, as they can attenuate a specific narrow frequency band. The presence of a flow in the system alters the acoustic properties of the resonator and the transmission loss of the subsystem. In this tutorial model, a Helmholtz resonator is ... Read More
Many trucks are equipped with cranes for load handling. Such cranes have a number of hydraulic cylinders, controlling the motion, and several mechanisms. The cylinders and mechanisms that make up the crane are subjected to large forces when handling heavy loads. In order to determine ... Read More
Buckling is a common failure mode for slender structural components. This model shows how the buckling load of a diagonal brace can be maximized, while constraining the volume of the brace. Read More
In this tutorial you will learn how to use selections when creating the parametric geometry for the analysis of a steam reformer, and set up the selections needed for the physics definitions. The multiphysics analysis of the steam reformer is described in the model Steam Reformer found ... Read More
