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.

Enhanced Coating for a Microelectromechanical Mirror

This example demonstrates how to optimize the thickness of a microelectromechanical (MEMS) mirror coating material for maximum reflectivity. To reduce the simulation time, a Layered Impedance Boundary Condition is used to model the thin coating material on top of the metallic mirror. Read More

Spray Particle Deposition in Human Airways new

This example demonstrates how to import and repair a surface mesh from an STL file, and to create a mesh to simulate nasal spray application inside the human upper airways. It further demonstrates how to combine the repaired mesh with the geometry of a nasal spray, then to remesh and ... Read More

App with CAD Import and Selections

This app simulates a micromixer based on an imported CAD geometry. The app shows how you can use the Application Builder to build an app that can handle CAD import and let the user interactively select boundary conditions. The app shows how this can be done without any programming using ... Read More

Trench-Gate IGBT 2D

In this first half of a two-part example, a 2D model of a trench-gate IGBT is built, which will be extended to 3D in the second half. In general, it is the most efficient to start with a 2D model to make sure everything works as expected, before extending it to 3D. The Caughey&ndash ... Read More

Corrosion Inhibitor Transport

The model simulates atmospheric corrosion of a galvanic couple, comprising of an Al-Co-Ce metallic coating and an aluminum alloy, which is in contact with electrolyte film of 100 micrometer thickness. The corrosion inhibitors are released from the metallic coating and are transported ... Read More

Cloaking of a Cylindrical Scatterer with Graphene (RF)

In this model, we introduce a cloaking method using an electrically tuned monolayer of graphene. We will show that when a cylindrical dielectric scatterer is covered in graphene, the scattering cross section is greatly reduced at the designated frequency, making it electromagnetically ...

Shape Optimization of an Acoustic Demultiplexer

This model shows how shape optimization can be used to design an acoustic demultiplexer. A demultiplexer is a data distributing device, in this case it will distribute acoustic energy. The geometry consists of a circular domain with one input port and two output ports. The domain has the ... Read More

Postbuckling Analysis Using an Incremental Arc Length Method

For slender structures, buckling is a catastrophic instability if the service load is above the critical limit. For such structures, it can be important to study the behavior of the structure beyond the critical buckling load, which is known as postbuckling analysis. Tracing the ... Read More

Connecting Beams and Solids

This example demonstrates the use of the Solid-Beam Connection multiphysics coupling to create transitions between the Solid Mechanics and Beam interfaces. Two different connection types are discussed, and a comparison of the stress distributions at the transition is made. Read More

Tire Inflation

This model showcases how to use fibers in thin layers to model thin anisotropic composites embedded in a solid without explicitly drawing either the layer of material or the reinforcing fibers. Here, it is used to model steel cords in tire belts that are used to provide structural ... Read More
