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.
The Dzhanibekov effect, also called the intermediate axis theorem or tennis racket theorem, describes the behavior of a rigid body with three distinct principal moments of inertia. This simulation app can be used to test the Dzhanibekov effect in three different geometries, including a ... Read More
The model shows how to estimate the Young's modulus and Poisson ratio based on a tensile test. The test measures the tensile force and the radial displacement. Typical numerical values of these quantities differ with around 10 orders of magnitude. Using a maximum likelihood strategy ... Read More
Fractals exhibit self-similarity at different scales and are often found in nature. Fractal noise is a technique used to emulate organic-looking textures, such as to achieve realistic visualizations of various materials in COMSOL Multiphysics®. These models demonstrate how to ... Read More
Beam theories are well-developed for slender structures with homogeneous materials and isotropic cross-sections. The traditional beam theories do no apply to beams made of different materials in the cross-section. Therefore, a homogenization-based numerical model is needed to compute ... Read More
This model shows the workflow to define a transfer orbit trajectory with user defined orbit option. The direct solar, albedo, and Earth radiative thermal loads are analyzed during the transfer from low Earth orbit to geostationary orbit. Read More
This demonstration app will fit a surface through a set of points using radial basis functions and will write out a COMSOL-format file of a smooth NURBS surface that passes through all of the points. The function describing the surface can also be written to a text file. The point data ... Read More
This model is used to demonstrate the solution to a classic brainteaser in electromagnetics. A long loop of wire is connected to a source and a receiver, which are placed 1 meter apart. The objective of the model is to compute how long it takes for the receiver to sense when the source ... Read More
This model analyzes Joule heating and thermal expansion in a bond wire in an LED. Its purpose is to estimate the temperature increase and the resulting mechanical stresses in the bond wire due to thermal expansion. The magnitude of these stresses can be used to assess the risk of fatigue ... Read More
The homogenized material properties of a composite are computed based on the temperature-dependent properties of matrix and fiber. The homogenized parameters are compared to the analytical values derived from the rule of mixtures. This is an extension of model https://www.comsol.com ... Read More
This model describes a pencil beam scanning (PBS) magnet system for use in medical proton therapy. Simulations of the magnetic flux density and particle tracing are performed. Such models are useful for the design of PBS systems, particular with the advent of MR-integrated proton ... Read More
