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 is a benchmark model for rigid body dynamics. This model simulates the dynamic behavior of "Andrew’s squeezing mechanism", which is force driven and requires a very small time scale. Various angles in the mechanism are compared with the results from the reference. Read More
The four-point bending test is a conventional test method used to test the mechanical properties of materials subjected to bending. It is a reliability test used for semiconductor packaging and assembly. This model demonstrates the stress analysis of an IGBT module subjected to a four ... Read More
Modeling the penetration of a needle into soft materials, such as gelatin, involves several complex mechanical challenges, including large deformations, high friction, contact forces, and material failure. This example simulates the needle insertion process into tissue-like materials ... Read More
This model demonstrates topology optimization for a problem involving acoustic-structure interaction for a sound partition problem. The objective being to reduce sound transmission for a fixed solid material fraction. The design domain is modeled with a mixed formulation using the Solid ... Read More
How well you can strike a golf ball is not only determined by your muscle strength, but more importantly it is influenced by the mechanics of golf swing. The outcome of golf stroke is basically determined by the movement of the club head just prior to the impact with the ball. In this ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to evaluate the harmonic response of a structure with a moderately nonlinear behavior. A nonlinear problem can only be solved using time-domain analysis. A way to speed up the computation is to use a linearized frequency response analysis to provide good initial ... Read More
A Chladni plate is a metal plate that is covered in sand and subjected to vibrations. At certain frequencies, the vibrations produce standing waves, resulting in sand patterns formed on the plate. The vibrations are either formed from a violin bow at the side of the plate or a wave ... Read More
When a droplet is placed on a substrate on which surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are traveling, the energy of the SAWs is transferred into the droplet to form an acoustic field. The transferred energy is attenuated and generates a streaming flow. This type of streaming enables contactless ... Read More
This model shows how you can implement a user defined hyperelastic material, using the strain density energy function. The model used is a general Mooney–Rivlin hyperelastic material model defined by a polynomial. In this example, you will see two material models based on the defined ... Read More
A standing contact fatigue test is a procedure used for testing crack growth on the subsurface level. In such a test, a spherical object is pressed against the tested materials and cycled between a high and low compressive load. No translational movement between the two occurs. After a ... Read More
