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 tutorial demonstrates how to model ultrasound imaging in human tissue using an imaging probe composed of piezoelectric arrays that generate steered and focused beams. Simulating this process requires a transient multiphysics model to accurately capture sound generation, propagation, ... Read More
This example shows how to model induction hardening of a small steel pin. The ferritic-pearlitic pin is induction heated using a coil with a high frequency alternating current. The surface of the pin is thereby austenitized, and the pin is then water cooled to produce a hard, martensitic ... Read More
Bearing clearances should be kept minimum to avoid non-synchronous vibration of a rotor. However, a tight clearance reduces the durability of the bearing. This example illustrates modeling of the vibration induced by nonlinear contact for different radial clearances. It is shown that ... Read More
In this model, an axial field magnetic gear with a gear ratio of 5:2 is modeled. Both the high-speed and low-speed rotors consist of permanent magnets and back iron. The low-speed rotor consists of five pole pairs, while the high-speed rotor consists of two pole pairs and the stationary ... Read More
This is a conceptual model of a microphone placed in an infinite baffle (flush mounted). The purpose is to determine the free-field level correction curve of the setup, which includes the exterior domain, microphone grid, and volume between the grid and the diaphragm. The microphone ... Read More
This tutorial shows how the displacement field of a deformed surface can be fit to a Zernike polynomial basis. The method of linear least-squares fitting is made significantly easier when fitting to an orthonormal basis, such as the Zernike polynomials on a circle. The displacement ... Read More
This tutorial model compares the results between a domain approach and the Thin Moisture Barrier feature to simulate the moisture transport in a wall with a vapor barrier. The Thin Moisture Barrier feature neglects diffusion, two studies are proposed, a first one where diffusion is ... Read More
This model computes the fundamental eigenfrequency and eigenmode for a tuning fork that is synchronized from Solid Edge® 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
Compliant mechanisms are attractive due to their simplicity, owing to their lack of hinges. In this model we show how to design a set of compliant pliers using topology optimization. The resulting design is post-processed using shape optimization, where the maximum stress is constrained ... Read More
This model demonstrates three different ways to find the eigenfrequencies of a rectangular metallic cavity. The first method uses an eigenfrequency study step together with the Electromagnetic Waves, Beam Envelopes interface. Here, it is important to define a wave vector for the physics ... Read More
