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.
An axisymmetric 3D structure such as a conical horn antenna can be simulated in a fast and efficient way using only its 2D layout. In this model, the antenna radiation and matching characteristics are computed very quickly with respect to the dominant TE mode from the given circular ... Read More
A double-ridged horn antenna is popularly used in anechoic chambers to characterize an antenna under test (AUT), from S-band to Ku-band, due to its reliable performance in a wideband frequency range. This tutorial models a double-ridged horn antenna and computes the voltage standing wave ... Read More
RFIDs are used in a multitude of applications such as tracking or identifying consumer products and their packaging. An RFID system consists of two main parts: A tag or transponder with a printed circuit-board (PCB) antenna A reader unit with a larger RF antennaThe reader antenna ... Read More
A Fresnel rhomb is a prism that uses total internal reflection to manipulate the polarization of light. In this example, light in the prism is internally reflected at an angle of incidence that induces a 45-degree phase delay between s- and p-polarized radiation. By subjecting the light ... Read More
This 3D model of a nanowire MOSFET employs the density-gradient theory to add the effect of quantum confinement to the conventional drift-diffusion formulation, without requiring excessively high computational costs. The oxide layer is simulated explicitly with geometric domains, and ... Read More
This tutorial model shows how to set up a model of a pulsed capacitive discharge. The on pulse consists of 10 periods of excitation at 13.56MHz, followed by no excitation for 100 periods. The I-V characteristics, the electron density, temperature and plasma potential are studied. Read More
This model illustrates the working principle of an electrodynamic wheel (EDW) magnetic levitation system. EDW magnetic levitation system consists of rotating and/or translationally moving permanent magnet Halbach rotor above a passive conducting guideway/track. Eddy current is ... Read More
An operational amplifier (op-amp) is a differential voltage amplifier with a wide range of applications in analog electronics. This tutorial models an op-amp connected to a feedback loop and a capacitive load. The op-amp is modeled as an equivalent linear subcircuit in the Electrical ... Read More
This model and tutorial demonstrates the use of an Application Method to compute and plot the geometric Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) for the Petzval Lens. Read More
This model shows how to create dispersion diagrams from simulation results by extending the tutorial Thin-Film BAW Composite Resonator. The dispersion curve can be plotted against both real and imaginary values of the wave number, corresponding to the propagating modes and evanescent ... Read More
