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.
The contact impedance boundary condition is meant to approximate a thin layer of material that impedes the flow of current normal to the boundary, but does not introduce any additional conduction path tangential to the boundary. This example compares the contact impedance boundary ... Read More
This is a transient model of an electromagnetic plunger consisting of a magnetic core, nonmagnetic guider, multi-turn coil, and magnetic plunger attached to the spring and damper at the far end. The electromagnetic force on the plunger due to the transient current in the coil is ... Read More
This a continuation of the permanent magnet motor model available here . In this model, an heat transfer analysis has been performed to compute the temperature rise for various stator current and rotor speed. A detailed analysis on torque, and losses in iron and copper have then been ... Read More
Differential inductance is relevant when a low-frequency electromagnetic system includes magnets, nonlinear magnetic materials, and moving parts. These models present examples of computing the differential inductance and using these within simplified lumped models. To learn more about ... Read More
When electrical energy is converted into mechanical work in an electrical motor, the "wasted" energy that causes device heating is usually referred to as loss. The ratio of useful work to input energy, or the efficiency of the motor, is an important property for the overall energy ... Read More
The model compare the electromagnetic force calculated by virtual work and maxwell stress tensor methods on the axial magnetic bearing. The forces is evaluated by studying the effect of a small displacement on the electromagnetic energy of the system. This is done by using the Magnetic ... Read More
This example demonstrates a benchmark test showing that Electric Currents in Layered Shells physics interface can be used to obtain the same results as when the model is solved with the Electric Currents interface based on a solid 3D structure. Read More
Many applications involve simulating the electromagnetic behavior of relatively thin material in voluminous domains. To save computer memory and processing time, the thin materials can be treated differently by resolving them with 3D meshes. Here, the modeling domain is a box filled ... 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
A demo model of a 50 Hz AC coil wound around a ferromagnetic (linear) core. The model is intended as a tutorial to show how to create a relatively complex geometry and set up the new Multi-Turn Coil features for the simulation. The model requires the Design module to fillet the edges of ... Read More
