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 tonpilz (sound mushroom) piezoelectric transducer is a transducer for relatively low frequency, high power sound emission. The transducer consists of piezoceramic rings stacked between massive ends and pre-stressed by a central bolt. The tail and head mass lower the resonance ... Read More
This model simulates an electrodeless lamp with argon/mercury chemistry. The low excitation threshold for mercury atoms means that even though the mercury is present in small concentrations, its behavior dominates. There is strong UV emission from the plasma at 185 nm and 253 nm. The UV ... Read More
This model studies the structural deformation of an aircraft fuselage structure subjected to buckling loads. The structure is an assembly of panels and skin connected by rivets. The Fasteners feature sets up a large number of connections and computes the forces acting on each rivet. Read More
This model demonstrates the use of boundary element method in the Electromagnetic Waves, Boundary Element interface to model an optical Yagi-Uda antenna. The antenna is driven by an electrical point dipole, which is implemented through the background field. The field distribution around ... Read More
This model describes a static stress analysis to obtain the stress distribution in the vicinity of a small hole in an infinite plate. The model is a classic benchmark and is described in Mechanics of Material, by D. Roylance. The stress level is then compared with the theoretical values. Read More
Trusses are structural members that can only sustain axial forces, but no bending or torsion. In the following example you first build and solve a simple 2D truss model using the 2D Truss interface. Later on, you analyze a 3D variant of the same problem using the 3D Truss interface. This ... Read More
This is a benchmark model involving stick-slip friction of a ring rolling inside another ring. The displacement of the inner ring is computed and compared to the analytical result. This model also shows how to tackle friction dominated contact problem. 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
This example reproduces a NAFEMS benchmark in which a plate with an angle crack is subjected to tensile loading. The J-integral is calculated and the stress intensity factors for Mode I and Mode II are compared to the benchmark results for several crack angles. Read More
This conceptual example shows how to handle a transient contact problem with stick-slip friction transition. A soft hollow pipe subjected to gravity is released at the top of a halfpipe. The pipe motion varies between sliding and rolling, depending on its position in the halfpipe and its ... Read More
