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.
Electronic equipment often has to be certified to function after having been subjected to a specified shock load. In this example, the effect of an 50g 11ms half sine shock on a circuit board is investigated using response spectrum analysis. The results are compared with a time domain ... Read More
A tube connection consisting of a flange with eight prestressed bolts is subjected to a set of loads: an internal pressure, an axial force, and an external bending moment. Due to two symmetry planes, it is sufficient to only consider one quarter of the full geometry. The study ... Read More
Interfacial failure by delamination or debonding can be simulated with a Cohesive Zone Model (CZM). This example shows the implementation of a CZM with a bilinear traction-separation law. It is used to predict the mixed-mode softening onset and delamination propagation in a composite ... Read More
Hydrogen embrittlement refers to the degradation of metal ductility due to the absorption of hydrogen. The metal becomes more brittle and thus cracks might initiate at lower stress levels. It is important to estimate hydrogen concentration and the speed at which it diffuses into the ... Read More
In many structural dynamics applications, some components are stiff compared to the supporting structure. Such a stiff part will only contribute to the dynamic properties of the structure through its mass and moment of inertia. It is then possible to reduce the model size significantly ... Read More
Periodic microstructures are frequently found in composite materials, metallic foams, and sandwich structures. They can be described by a unit cell repeated along the three Cartesian directions. This app computes homogenized material properties of various periodic microstructures and ... Read More
In massive forming processes like rolling or extrusion, metal alloys are deformed in a hot solid state with material flowing under ideally plastic conditions. Such processes can be simulated effectively using computational fluid dynamics, where the material is considered as a fluid with ... Read More
In this 2D tutorial, a test sample consists on one side of an isotropic material and on the other side of a heterogeneous anisotropic material (a transverse anisotropic zinc crystal). Elastic waves in the sample are excited by a point-like force. The model is solved with the Elastic ... Read More
A tonpilz transducer is used for relatively low frequency, high power sound emission. It is one of the popular transducer configurations for SONAR applications. The transducer consists of piezoceramic rings stacked between a head mass and a tail mass which are connected by a central ... Read More
This is a tutorial example, showing how to work with pretensioned bolts. Various aspects of bolt modeling are explored: Modeling bolts as solids or by beams Connections of beams to solid components Bolts ended by nuts or by internal threads in the attached component Import of bolt and ... Read More
