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 illustrates the modeling of slider motion caused by a base rotation. The motion of the slider is analyzed under various forces such as inertia force, centrifugal force, spring force and damping force. The prismatic joint, which is used to connect the two components, is spring ... Read More
Say you would like to simulate a natural material or an arrangement of parts that have some known statistical distribution of dimensional variations. In such cases, you can create a random geometry based on these variations. This model file is an example that demonstrates how to create ... Read More
This model demonstrates an efficient approach to simulating a thin, spherical, large radome using a 2D axisymmetric formulation with cubic discretization. The axisymmetric method captures full 3D behavior for azimuthally symmetric geometries at only a fraction of the computational cost. ... Read More
This example uses the thermal expansion of a laminated composite shell model to demonstrate the use of the feature Thermal Contact, Interface, applied on interfaces between layers in a laminated composite shell. The first study is computed neglecting this additional thermal resistance in ... Read More
This model shows how to model a simple Shockley diode— a four-layer PNPN semiconductor device. The Shockley diode is also named as thyristor. In this model, the Analytic Doping Model node is utilized to define the doping profiles for each domain. A time-dependent study is employed to ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to model the switching between current and voltage excitations in Terminal boundary conditions. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Control Current and Voltage Sources with the AC/DC Module". Read More
A magnetic diaphragm is a flexible, thin structure that interacts with magnetic fields to perform mechanical or sensing functions. When subjected to an external magnetic field, the diaphragm deforms due to magnetomechanical interactions, converting magnetic energy into mechanical ... Read More
This tutorial illustrates the use of the connecting features in the Heat Transfer in Solids and Heat Transfer in Shells interfaces, to couple them to a Lumped Thermal System interface. The results obtained with the solid and shell models are compared. 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
This model performs a transient analysis of the temperature through a house wall. The wall is formed of different layers corresponding to the structure, insulation and plaster. On the exterior and the interior, the wall is exposed to thermal radiation and convective cooling. The results ... Read More
