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 conceptual example shows how to calculate critical points in models with contact. The model consists of two contacting arches modeled with the Shell interface. The contact problem is solved using the penalty method. The upper arch is loaded with displacement controlled edge loads ... Read More
This model illustrates the instability of a space arc frame under concentrated vertical loading. The Beam interface is utilized. Two different approaches are used: A full incremental nonlinear analysis, where a small lateral load is applied to break the symmetry of the structure A ... Read More
In his example, the lowest natural frequency of a 3D bracket are maximized using shape optimization. Read More
The four-point bending test is a conventional test method used to test the mechanical properties of materials subjected to bending. It is a reliability test used for semiconductor packaging and assembly. This model demonstrates the stress analysis of an IGBT module subjected to a four ... Read More
In this example, the External Stress feature in the Solid Mechanics interface is used to provide the material model with the nonsymmetric stress required in the design of an elastic invisibility cloak. The cloak is a domain with special material properties aimed at shielding a region of ... Read More
A steel ball is pressed down against a rubber membrane. When the contact pressure exceeds a certain value, the two parts start sticking together. When the ball is retracted, the membrane is pulled upwards in the bonded region. During the retraction, the bond is partially broken. This ... Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Reading and importing data from an Excel®-file Exporting data to an Excel®-file Light theme The app computes the beam section properties and true stress distribution in a designated steel beam section. A broad range of American and European beam ... Read More
The katana is a legendary Japanese sword used by the samurai in olden days. Here, we present a simple model where we simulate a differential hardening process to explore some of the features of the katana. Learn more in this related blog post: Modeling the Differential Quenching of a ... Read More
In this example you will build and solve a 3D beam model using the 3D Beam interface. This model shows how a thermally induced deformation of a beam is modeled. Temperature differences are applied across the top and bottom surfaces as well as the left and right surfaces of the beam. ... Read More
In this model, you build and solve a 2D beam model using the 2D Structural Mechanics Beam interface. This model describes the eigenfrequency analysis of a simple geometry. A point mass and point mass moment of inertia are used in the model. The two first eigenfrequencies are compared ... Read More
