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.
The ball grid array (BGA) technology is a surface-mount technology widely used in electronic packaging. Usually, there are two types of solder balls considered in the array, including the functional balls that are required for electric connections and the support balls that are used only ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how a lumped model of a MEMS transducer can be derived from its FEM model. It includes an FEM model of a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) and the corresponding lumped model created using the Lumped Mechanical System (LMS) interface. The ... Read More
This tutorial example is kindly provided by Dr. James Ransley at Veryst Engineering, LLC. This model continues from the base model “A Micromachined Comb-Drive Tuning Fork Rate Gyroscope”, which is also provided by Dr. Ransley. The model demonstrates how to accurately compute the effects ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to build the geometry for the 3D biased resonator from GDS file using the ECAD Import Module and the Design Module. The procedure emulates semiconductor and MEMS fabrication processes to build 3D geometry more efficiently and is more intuitive for those ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates the operation of a gyroscope based on design provided by Dr. James Ransley at Veryst Engineering, LLC. The model uses the Electromechanics coupling with the mixed finite element formulation in the Electrostatics interface. Read More
The katana is a legendary Japanese sword used by the samurai in olden days. Here, we present a simple model where we simulate a differential hardening process to explore some of the features of the katana. Learn more in this related blog post: Modeling the Differential Quenching of a ... Read More
This example shows how to model tissue ablation through applying RF radiation. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Study Radiofrequency Tissue Ablation Using Simulation". Read More
Uncertainty Quantification is used to study the effect of manufacturing variation on the performance of 2D Solidly Mounted Resonator (2D SMR). This tutorial shows how resonant frequency is effected by thickness variations of the piezoelectric layer and the Bragg reflector layers. The ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates a full electro-vibroacoustic analysis of a conceptual electrostatic speaker driver, composed of thin conducting plastic diaphragm residing between two perforated metal sheets called grids or stators. When an audio signal is applied to the grids (out of phase), ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to model the switching between current and voltage excitations in Terminal boundary conditions. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Control Current and Voltage Sources with the AC/DC Module". Read More
