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 model shows how to model a simple Metal–Insulator–Metal (MIM) diode. The two metal electrodes are defined on each side using the Metal Contact feature. Two studies were performed: one without quantum tunneling across the potential barrier and the other including it, using the WKB ... Read More
A trimmer capacitor has a variable capacitance. One way of obtaining this is to use parallel facing electrodes with a variable overlap area. In this example, the capacitance can be changed by turning one electrode using a screwdriver. Typically a linear angular response is desired. ... Read More
The model illustrate the technique to calculate the magnetic stiffness in a 3D geometry of a permanent magnet axial magnetic bearing. The Magnetic Fields physics is used to model the bearing and compute the magnetic forces. The Deformed Geometry and Sensitivity physics are used to ... Read More
This model is based on the Metasurface Beam Deflector model. The performance is improved using shape optimization by allowing both the radii and the position of the individual pillars to change. Read More
One of the ways we can simplify and reduce the size and computational complexity of a finite element model is by using any symmetries present in a model. In this entry, you can find three practical examples highlighting how to exploit symmetries in RF or wave optics modeling. They all ... Read More
This example shows how to model Lithium diffusion in a silicon electrode that swells. The model shows how swelling-induced plastic deformation can increase the maximum state of charge (SOC). Read More
Radial magnetic coupling between two permanent magnet rotors is modeled using the Rotating Machinery, Magnetic interface. The permanent magnets in the inner and the outer rotors are outward flux-focused and inward flux-focused to maximize the coupling torque. Read More
A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a metallic sphere partially embedded on a substrate. In this electromagnetic scattering problem, the far-field variables are computed for a few elevation angles of incidence. Read More
Electromagnetic scattering simulation for an object with continuous rotational symmetry can be performed in 2D axisymmetry instead of 3D to drastically reduce computational time and resources. This model shows how to simulate arbitrary plane wave incidence in 2D axisymmetric models by ... Read More
This proof-of-concept model showcases how to handle a Gaussian beam propagating in the negative y direction in 2D. The model includes several studies, including a parametric sweep, to cover a wide combination of settings describing the background Gaussian beam, such as settings for ... Read More
