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.
Ultrahigh Molecular Weight (UHMW) Polyethylene is a material commonly employed in knee and hip joint replacements. The “small punch test” is designed to assess mechanical properties using very small samples, which because of their reduced size can be directly explanted. This example ... Read More
This example studies a portion of the vascular system of a young child. The aorta and its ramified blood vessels are embedded in biological tissue. The pressure from the moving fluid deforms the blood vessel. The complete analysis consists of two distinct but coupled procedures: a fluid ... Read More
Due to the demand for larger power with a smaller size, dual-shaft systems with intershaft bearings are becoming a standard configuration for gas turbine engines. Such systems consist of two coaxial rotors running at different speeds, interlinked through a multi-spool bearing. In this ... Read More
A thermoacoustic engine is a device with no moving parts that can generate acoustic energy from temperature gradients within the engine. It uses the relationship between the movement of oscillating air and the temperature changes in the air compressed and expanded by the acoustic waves. ... Read More
This is a tutorial example, showing how to work with pretensioned bolts. Various aspects of bolt modeling are explored: Modeling bolts as solids or by beams Connections of beams to solid components Bolts ended by nuts or by internal threads in the attached component Import of bolt and ... Read More
Anisotropic hyperelastic materials are used to model collagenous soft tissue in arterial walls. The Arterial Wall Mechanics application describes a section of an artery using the Holzapfel–Gasser-Ogden hyperelastic material model. In this example, the dynamic behavior of the artery is ... Read More
Composite materials are often used in structural applications because their properties, such as stiffness and strength, can be tailored to meet specific requirements. This makes them attractive alternatives to traditional engineering materials. Composites are also used in applications ... Read More
This is a benchmark model for a plane stress problem. The accuracy of the computed stress concentration is evaluated, and a mesh convergence study is performed for different element types. Read More
