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 shows how to compute the anchor loss limited quality factor of a diamond disc resonator. The resonator is anchored to the substrate by a polysilicon post and power is transmitted to the substrate through the post. A perfectly matched layer is used to represent the essentially ...

This model shows how to combine an electric circuit simulation with a finite element simulation. The finite element model is an inductor with a nonlinear magnetic core and 1000 turns, where the number of turns is modeled using a distributed current technique. The circuit is imported ... Read More
Manual design optimization typically requires numerous sweeps over a parameterized geometry, but it does not guarantee optimal performance under given conditions. Shape optimization removes the need for explicit parameterization and can achieve comparable or even better performance in a ... Read More
This model captures the dynamic resistive switching behavior of an oxide-based memristor. The device features a thin metal oxide layer sandwiched between two metal electrodes. When a voltage is applied, oxygen vacancies within the oxide layer migrate, acting as charge carriers and ... Read More
Induction pumps are used in high temperature cooling systems. The principle of operation is equivalent to a linear three phase induction motor. The lack of moving parts and the pumped liquid being kept in a hermetically closed system are clear advantages. This model shows how to simulate ... Read More
A magnet moving axially through the center of a coil will induce a voltage across the coil terminals. One practical application of this is in shaker flashlights, where the flashlight is vigorously shaken back and forth, causing a magnet to move through a multi-turn coil, which provides ... Read More
This tutorial introduces a workflow typical of creating geometry for simulation by using Sketch mode to draw complex shapes. Follow the step-by-step instructions to draw the geometry for the analysis of a light bulb. The physics setup is described in the model Free Convection in a Light ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to use topology optimization with milling constraints to design a metalens that focuses a single wavelength to a point. This involves transferring the optimized results to another component so the result can be verified using an explicit geometry ... Read More
This model demonstrates two approaches to model the acoustics in a generic nacelle with an acoustic liner and a background flow. The first method uses the Compressible Potential Flow and the* Linearized Potential Flow, Frequency Domain* interfaces, while the second, more detailed ... Read More
Nucleate boiling occurs when a liquid is heated by a source hotter than the saturated fluid temperature but with a heat flux below the critical heat flux. In this regime, high heat flux are possible due to the evaporation of the liquid. This model aims to demonstrate the calculation of ... Read More
