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.
Mechanical precession prevents bicycle pedals from falling off. The model captures this effect using a multibody dynamics simulation together with a contact analysis. A friction coefficient is associated with the contact in order for the model to capture the effect. Read More
This example illustrates a linear buckling analysis conducted for a corrugated conical shell, utilizing a single sector of the geometry along with cyclic symmetry periodicity edge conditions. The results are compared to those using the full shell geometry. 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
The sound distribution from a TV in a two-room apartment is computed. The simulation demonstrates the use of the Acoustic Diffusion Equation interface to get a quick and simple estimate of the local sound pressure level. For increased accuracy, an analytical expression for the direct ... Read More
This is a demo model to show how to model connections in a mechanical system using Multibody Dynamics interface. In this model, pantograph mechanism is modeled. The purpose of this mechanism is to produce an identical, either enlarged or miniaturized, copy of an existing drawing. Read More
Solving very large pressure acoustics models in the frequency domain can be challenging. Several iterative solver suggestions exist for the default physics setups and the default quadratic Lagrange discretization. For very large models it can be advantageous to switch from quadratic to ... Read More
A simple way to estimate the value of π is by using a pendulum, whose oscillation period can be measured and used to calculate an approximation. This simulation app is based on a model that uses the <em>Multibody Dynamics</em> interface to describe the motion of a simple ... Read More
This example shows how to model isotropic volumetric growth and atrophy of soft biological tissues. The artery is represented by a cylinder that is stretched and compressed due to an applied axial load. As a result, the tissue undergoes growth and atrophy. Read More
This model describes the corrosion of magnesium (Mg) alloys in physiological environments using a phase-field formulation. The approach couples Mg dissolution kinetics with ionic transport, enabling the transition from activation-controlled to diffusion-controlled regimes to be captured. ... Read More
This model analyzes the uncertainty in focused ultrasound induced tissue heating. The material properties for the tissue mimicking material, including the uncertainty, are taken from the FDA Medical Device Development Tool: Tissue Mimicking Material (TMM) for Preclinical Acoustic ... Read More
