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.
This example studies a portion of the vascular system of a young child. The aorta and its ramified blood vessels are embedded in biological tissue. The pressure from the moving fluid deforms the blood vessel. The complete analysis consists of two distinct but coupled procedures: a fluid ... Read More
A load carrying component of a structure is subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading during which localized yielding of the material occurs. In this model you perform a low cycle fatigue analysis of the part based on the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model. Due to localized yielding, you ... Read More
In this benchmark example, a semi-elliptical crack at the inner surface of a cylinder is studied. The inside of the cylinder and the crack faces are subjected to a pressure load. The J-integral is calculated along the crack front, and the stress intensity factor is then compared with the ... Read More
This tutorial model shows how to model a structure using both shell and solid elements, and how to create the transition between them. Results are compared between the shell solution and the full 3D solution, and the effects of the transition are highlighted. Read More
A thin-walled container made of rolled steel is subjected to an internal overpressure. As an effect of the manufacturing method, one of the three material principal directions — the out-of- plane direction — has a higher yield stress than the other two. Hill’s orthotropic plasticity is ... Read More
This model calculates the eigenfrequencies and mode shapes of an unconstrained cylinder in axisymmetry. The model is taken from NAFEMS Free Vibration Benchmarks. The eigenfrequencies are compared with the values given in the benchmark report. Three different physics interfaces are ... Read More
In this example, a lumped model of a vehicle suspension system having 11 degrees of freedom is analyzed. The Mass, Spring, and Damper nodes of the Lumped Mechanical System interface are used to model the wheels, including suspension system as well as the seats with a passenger. The ... Read More
Polymer hydrogels consist of a crosslinked network of long-chained polymers that has imbibed a large number of solvent molecules. Such materials are used in many biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and stimuli-sensitive actuators. This benchmark ... Read More
This example shows a 2D plane stress model of a thin tapered cantilever. Different boundary and load scenarios are examined. It is demonstrated how to apply and how to evaluate different load and constraint groups. Resulting stresses are compared to NAFEMS benchmark values and they are ... Read More
This model shows how to perform a submodeling analysis in order to evaluate structural stress. Using a submodel helps to compute the results in a refined geometry detail while applying loads and constraints in the global model. Read More
