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.
Induced eddy currents and associated thermal loads is of interest in many high power AC applications. This example is of general nature and illustrates some of the involved physics as well as suitable modeling techniques in the AC/DC Module. In this model a metallic plate is placed ... Read More
In this tutorial, a PM motor with 10 rotor poles and 12 stator slots is modeled in 2D, to capture the torque ripple over an electrical period and map the volumetric loss density in the rotor and stator iron. Read More
This tutorial example shows how to use the Electric Currents in Shells interface together with Magnetic Field interface to compute the resistance and inductance of a planar PCB coil in the stationary regime. Read More
The mutual inductance between a primary and secondary single turn coil in a concentric coplanar arrangement is computed using a DC, steady-state, model and compared against the analytic solution. The induced currents in the secondary coil are computed using an AC, frequency-domain, ... Read More
Inductive devices experience capacitative coupling between conductors at high frequencies. Modeling this phenomenon requires that you describe electric fields that have components both parallel with and perpendicular to the wire. This consideration might lead to the conclusion that a 3D ... Read More
Several different approaches to optimizing a ten-turn axisymmetric coil are presented. First, the current in each turn is adjusted with the objective of having a uniform magnetic flux density along the centerline. Second, the currents are adjusted to minimize power dissipation with a ... Read More
This model presents a solution to the Transient Electromagnetic Analysis Methods (TEAM) workshop problem 28, “An Electrodynamic Levitation Device”- a benchmark problem involving the dynamic coupling of electromagnetics and rigid body dynamics. An electrodynamic levitation force is ... Read More
Soft permanent magnets like AlNiCo are easily demagnetized if handled incorrectly. This is a demonstration of how to model the self-demagnetization of a cylindrical AlNiCo magnet when moved out of its associated/protective magnetic circuit. The modeling is performed in three steps: The ... Read More
This is a transient model of an electromagnetic plunger consisting of a magnetic core, nonmagnetic guider, multi-turn coil, and magnetic plunger attached to the spring and damper at the far end. The electromagnetic force on the plunger due to the transient current in the coil is ... Read More
When electrical energy is converted into mechanical work in an electrical motor, the "wasted" energy that causes device heating is usually referred to as loss. The ratio of useful work to input energy, or the efficiency of the motor, is an important property for the overall energy ... Read More
