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.
Find the optimal cross section areas of trusses in a structure given a prescribed set of limitations and a clear objective. The structure is made up of trusses which are elements that can only sustain axial forces. Read More
When estimating the parameters of a multiphysics model, both experimental noise and modeling uncertainties will contribute to corresponding uncertainties in the final parameters estimated. In this verification example, we demonstrate the new Variance functionality in the Parameter ... Read More
Inverted elements can prevent large deformations for shape optimization. This model demonstrates how this problem can be circumvented using export/import of the geometry and a model method. The technique is demonstrated on a benchmark problem from topology optimization, where the ... 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
This model demonstrate how to simulate ray tracing in a pinhole camera viewing a solar eclipse. To keep the model dimensions in check, the Sun and Moon are approximated using planar discs with the appropriate angular size (~0.5 degree) relative to the pinhole. In this example, the ... Read More
In this model, the packing behavior of grains is simulated using three force models: Hertz-MD, Hertz-MD with adhesion, Hertz-MD with adhesion and van der Waals forces. The packing efficiency is calculated to quantify the extent of packing observed. Read More
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most effective methods in molecular biology, medical diagnostics, and biochemical engineering in amplifying a specific sequence of DNA. There has been a great interest in developing portable PCR-based lab-on-a-chip systems for point-of-care ... Read More
This model simulates a beam of light being split into components of different frequencies when passing through a medium where the refractive index depends on frequency. COMSOL-wise, the model showcases two important technical aspects: A user-defined implementation of the frequency ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to model car cabin acoustics using a low frequency FEM solution concatenated with a high frequency ray solution. The source is a tweeter located in the dashboard corner, which is modeled as a lumped loudspeaker coupled to an electric circuit. To accurately include ... 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
