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 presents two examples of topology optimization of the magnetic circuit of a loudspeaker driver. A first optimization is used to find the design of a nonlinear iron pole piece and top plate that maximize the BL factor at the resting position (small displacements), while ... Read More
Gear rattle and bearing misalignment are common sources of vibration and noise in gearboxes. This example considers two geared shafts supported by roller bearings. Backlash causes intermittent tooth contact and induces shaft vibrations when the driven shaft is unloaded and the driving ... Read More
In this tutorial model, you will see how to set up an eigenfrequency analysis of a rotor with multiple disks and bearings. The example illustrates how to use Campbell and stability diagrams to identify the critical speeds and the stability threshold. The rotor is modeled using the Beam ... Read More
This tutorial studies the propagation of sound in the presence of a porous absorber in the time domain. It demonstrates how to model a porous absorber using the local and extended reacting approximations and compares the two approaches for absorbers of various thickness. The dissipative ... Read More
The acoustic field in a model of an axially symmetric lined aero-engine duct, based on modal sound transmission, is analyzed. The source is generated by a single mode excitation at a boundary. Sources and nonreflecting conditions are applied using port boundary conditions. The model ... Read More
In this example, a torque is applied to the inner edge of a circular annulus-shaped membrane while the outer edge is fixed, resulting in wrinkling of the membrane. The wrinkling membrane model avoids the equilibrium instability that would be produced by the compressive stresses. The ... Read More
In this example, the coupling between Multibody Dynamics and Rotating Machinery, Magnetic for performing electromagnetic and mechanical analysis is demonstrated. A permanent magnet motor with 10 rotor poles and 12 stator slots is modelled in 2D. The magnets are attached to the ... Read More
This model illustrates the dynamics of helical gears. It is built using the gears functionality in the Multibody Dynamics interface in COMSOL Multiphysics. A transient study is performed to analyze the effect of constant gear mesh stiffness, varying gear mesh stiffness, and the ... Read More
This model determines the reflection coefficient of plane acoustic waves, at different frequencies and at different angles of incidence, off a water-sediment interface. The ability of the Poroelasitc Waves interface to model the coupled acoustic and elastic wave in any porous substance ... Read More
In this tutorial example, the concepts of Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) are introduced through a simple solid model of a cantilever beam. Parts of the beam are reduced by the CMS technique. It is, furthermore, shown how CMS can be used to represent both the static and dynamic behavior ... Read More
