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 model tracks a contaminant that enters an aquifer at a point, such as an injection well or toxic spill, and spreads through the aquifer with time. The model has an analytic solution developed by Wilson and Miller. This analytic solution has been used to test several dedicated fluid ... Read More
The example Stiffness Analysis of a Communication Mast’s Diagonal Mounting in the COMSOL Multiphysics Model Library shows how you can modify a 3D CAD model to improve its performance. In that case, the applied changes were based solely on the analyst’s experience with similar structures. ... 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
This example reproduces a NAFEMS benchmark in which a plate with an angle crack is subjected to tensile loading. The J-integral is calculated and the stress intensity factors for Mode I and Mode II are compared to the benchmark results for several crack angles. 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
Electrical components in wireless communication systems are designed to be small and light for portability and productivity while maintaining decent performance and efficiency. Antennas are essential components in mobile devices and are required to fit in the limited space allowed by ... Read More
A hinge between two mechanical components is modeled by coupling two rigid connectors. This method can be used for simulating many types of mechanisms. In mechanical assemblies, parts are sometimes connected so that they are free to move relative to each other in one or more degrees of ... Read More
This tutorial series demonstrates three different approaches to remove small geometric entities from an imported 3D CAD geometry of a wheel rim: the Repair operation, the Defeaturing tools, and the Remove Details operation. Use Repair to automatically find and remove small entities ... Read More
The stresses in a pulley connected to an engine that drives another pulley are studied in this model. A parametric analysis is conducted in order to study how the rotational speed affects the stress distribution in the pulley. The power at the pulley shaft remains constant, the moment ... Read More
This model analyzes the frequency response of a fuel tank partially filled with fluid. The tank is submitted to a vertical acceleration. Two modeling methods are considered to represent the fluid: a traditional method of smearing the mass of the fluid through the wetted surface of the ... Read More
