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 example exemplifies how to model the switching between current and voltage excitations in Terminal boundary conditions. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Control Current and Voltage Sources with the AC/DC Module". Read More
The AC/DC magnetic interfaces support material models defined in external C code. You can access external material functions, written in C code, which have been compiled into a shared library. By writing a wrapper function in C code, you can also use material functions written in another ... Read More
This example of a plasmonic waveguide filter shows that the waveguide rejects the electromagnetic radiation of the wavelength between 1.4 um and 1.6 um, but allows the rest of the wavelength. The silver material can be modeled using the Drude-Lorentz approximation, with ε∞ = 3.7, ωp = 13 ... Read More
The design of antireflective coating plays an important role to increase the transmission of the infrared light that propagates through optical structures such as lens and windows. In this model, we showcase how different bulk structures such as Si and CZT that has the bulk ... Read More
Light collimation or focusing is a basic task often needed when working with lasers in the lab where singlets are used due to their simplicity. If a plano-convex lens is used for the task, there is a correct lens orientation that minimizes aberrations. A useful rule-of-thumb is to ... Read More
An automotive midwoofer is modeled using the lumped parameter approach. The electrical and mechanical components are modeled using a lumped electric circuit, which is coupled to a finite element model for the acoustics using the Lumped Speaker Boundary feature. The large signal ... Read More
Microwave filters are used to eliminate unwanted frequency components in the output from microwave transmitters. They are typically inserted between a power amplifier and an antenna. The amplifiers are nonlinear and produce harmonics that must be eliminated with filters that have a ... Read More
This example shows how to model a FinFET in 3D. The I-V characteristics of the device are simulated. First, the gate voltage is swept to obtain the drain current versus gate voltage plot. Then, the drain current versus drain voltage characteristics are computed for fixed gate voltages. Read More
This example simulates Trichel pulses produced by negative corona discharge under a point-to-plate configuration. The electron density and the electric field are obtained, as well as the discharge current. The discharge current clearly shows the pulsating characters. Each current pulse ... Read More
Usually limited to a specific region, corona discharges appear as a consistent luminosity. The attributes of steady glow corona discharges change depending on their polarity. Positive glow corona, also referred to as Hermstein's glow or ultra corona, presents a direct current (DC) aspect ... Read More
