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 model presents the transient modeling of a coaxial magnetic bearing using permanent magnets. The coaxial magnetic bearing is advantageous over the conventional mechanical gear mainly because of minimum noise, maintenance free operation, overload protection and physical isolation ... Read More
Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) is used extensively in self-driving cars to perform the quantitative ranging of the surroundings obstacles. The LIDAR system consists of a laser beam which gets broadened using a MEMS mirror with a particular horizontal and vertical field of view ... Read More
The Helmholtz filter is a popular technique for imposing a minimum length scale in structural topology optimization, but certain applications also call for a maximum length scale. This model demonstrates how to achieve this using an extra PDE filter. Read More
This model demonstrates how to use a space-time formulation to optimize a heating profile over time. Get an overview in the accompanying blog post Equation-Based Modeling with a Space-Time Discretization. Read More
Analyzing resonances is essential when designing loudspeakers. Resonances can come from various sources in a loudspeaker, with the diaphragm being a significant one. There are numerous traditional approaches to address diaphragm resonances, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. A ... Read More
This model computes the fundamental eigenfrequency and eigenmode for a tuning fork that is synchronized from PTC Creo Parametric™ via the LiveLink™ interface. The length of the fork is then optimized so that the tuning fork sounds the note A, 440 Hz. Read More
This model computes an electromagnetic-heated busbar with surface-to-surface radiation and compares the results with the busbar model without radiation. The surface emissivity of copper is varied between 0.1 (blank material), 0.3 (partially oxidized), and 0.7 (heavily oxidized). A more ... Read More
Optical computing has been a promising paradigm alternative to the current electronic computers. This model simulates an optical 4-by-4 unitary matrix multiplication device based on a network of six Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs). A more detailed description of this model can be ... Read More
A classic way of estimating pi is by using the Monte Carlo method. This involves randomly placing points inside a square and counting how many lie within a circle inscribed in the square. The ratio of points inside the circle to the number of points in total can be used to approximate ... Read More
The model utilizes a dedicated mesh refinement study, Frequency Domain RF Adaptive Mesh, which dynamically refines the mesh in the region of interest. For the Application Library model Microstrip Patch Antenna, it increases the mesh resolution around areas with high field variations. The ... Read More
