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 demonstrates how to model coupled flow, heat transfer, and structural deformation and stress in a pipeline network. Gravity loads from the pipe and fluid are also taken into account. Read More
In his example, the lowest natural frequency of a 3D bracket are maximized using shape optimization. Read More
Bearings are used in machines to reduce the friction between moving parts and thereby smooth their relative motion. Rolling element bearings are one of the most widely used bearings, where rolling elements or rollers are used to support the load. These rollers can be of different shapes; ... Read More
Reflow soldering is an important process in IC packaging. In reflow soldering, the solder materials are melted to create joints between electrical components and the PCBs for structural and electrical connections. This model demonstrates the process of attaching chips to a PCB by reflow ... Read More
The thermal stress in a layered plate is studied in this example. A plate consisting of two layers, a coating and a substrate layer, is stress and strain free at 800 degrees C. The temperature of the plate is reduced to 150 degrees C and thermal stresses are induced due to the difference ... Read More
In this example, the deformation of a rubber boot seal connected to a rigid pipe is studied. As the pipe rotates and the seal deforms, the flanges of the seal self-intersect and it also come into contact with the pipe. Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Using a Java® utility class for combining several waveforms and for playing sound Using tables for presenting results The app allows you to study the design of an organ pipe and then play the sound and pitch of the changed design. The pipe sound ... Read More
A surface mount resistor is subjected to thermal cycling. The difference in the thermal expansion of different materials will introduce stresses in the structure. The solder which connects the resistor with the printed circuit board is seen as the weakest link in the assembly. It ... Read More
Buckling is a structural instability that can lead to failure of a component even without initial material failure. Computation of the critical buckling loads and mode shapes can therefore be important from a design viewpoint, even though it has previously been determined that the ... Read More
This example shows how to use response spectrum analysis to verify the integrity of a structure that is exposed to an earthquake. The building is modeled as a steel frame, using beam elements. Displacements and stresses are computed. Read More
