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.
Indentation tests are commonly used to evaluate the safety of battery cells by assessing the risk of internal short circuits under external mechanical loads. This example demonstrates how to set up such a test, in which an indenter is pressed onto a battery cell, causing large ... Read More
This example model simulates the long-path echo of trumpet sounds reflected from a building 500 m away. The echo can only be heard at night because of the acoustic ray refraction in the atmosphere with different temperature profiles. The model is solved using the ray tracing in the ... Read More
This app is an example of how the poroelastic properties of a porous material can be determined based on measurement done with an impedance tube and parameter estimation. Being able to determine the characteristics of a porous material from a single and simple measurement opens the door ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to set up a dynamic simulation that includes several contact interactions, including friction, using a single general contact pair. The dynamics is solved using explicit time stepping. Read More
The homogenized material properties of a composite are computed based on the temperature-dependent properties of matrix and fiber. The homogenized parameters are compared to the analytical values derived from the rule of mixtures. This is an extension of model https://www.comsol.com ... 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 the ability to simulate Multibody Dynamics in COMSOL. It comprises a multilink mechanism that is used in an antique automobile as a gearshift lever. It was created out of curiosity to find out how large forces are on the individual components. The model uses ... Read More
A demultiplexer is a device that directs different frequency bands to different outputs. In this tutorial model, we will design a demultiplexer by performing shape optimization on all initial circular boundaries in a sonic crystal (phononic crystal) configuration. The model uses shape ... Read More
This example showcases a helical planetary gear train composed of a sun gear, ring gear, carrier, and five planet gears. Three cases are analyzed by in turn fixing the ring gear, sun gear, and carrier. For each configuration, a transient multibody analysis is performed to determine the ... Read More
In this multibody dynamics model of a simple counterweight trebuchet, a parametric sweep is used to study throwing distance as function of the sling length. For more details on performing a multibody analysis of a counterweight trebuchet, see this blog post: What Is the Physics Behind a ... Read More
