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 illustrates how to model a barrel hinge connecting two solid objects in an assembly. Because the details of the connection are not the focus of the analysis, the hinge is modeled using a Joint feature in the Multibody Dynamics Module. The connected parts can be rigid or ... Read More
Isotropic compression is a common material test in soil mechanics. The modified Cam-Clay (MCC) model describes the relation between the void ratio and the logarithm of the pressure. In this example, a cylindrical soil sample under isotropic compression is simulated. It is verified that, ... Read More
An acoustic point source emits a pressure wave in water that travels toward a piece of glass. Cracks are formed and propagate due to high tensile stresses developed in the glass. A fully coupled acoustic-structure interaction problem including phase field damage in solids is solved in ... Read More
For slender structures, buckling can be a catastrophic instability if the service load exceeds the critical buckling load. For such structures, it can be important to study the structural behavior beyond the critical buckling load. Such a study is known as a postbuckling analysis. ... Read More
In this tutorial model, a six-step thrust bearing is analyzed. A step thrust bearing consists of a stepped bearing surface on which the end of the shaft rotates. The entire assembly is submerged in a lubricant. The shaft collar is assumed to rotate without any axial motion in the ... Read More
This tutorial model demonstrates how to estimate the material parameters of a combined hardening elastoplastic material model given cyclic shear data. Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to compute the response of an ultrasonic car parking sensor transducer coupling Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain, Solid Mechanics, and Piezoelectric Materials. The far-field radiation pattern of the transducer is then used as a source for a Ray ... Read More
Chain drives are used for transmitting power from one shaft to another, located at some distance. This example simulates the dynamics of a chain sprocket assembly in 2D. The geometry consists of a roller chain wrapped around two sprockets. Both chain links and sprockets are assumed to be ... Read More
