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 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
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
This model simulates a holographic page data storage system. The studies include the recording and retrieval processes. The object beam encrypting 8-bit data is focused into a holographic material by a Fourier lens (Fourier transformation). In the recording process, the object beam ... Read More
You can use the Method Editor in the Application Builder for creating methods that perform almost any type of modeling tasks, including geometry modeling. It is easy to miss the fact that methods can support recursion by having a method calling itself in a recursive loop. Here, we will ... Read More
This model demonstrates the filtration of grains of three different sizes as they pass through two vibrating sieves of different hole sizes. Read More
Turbulent flow, Elliptic Blending R-ε interface is used to analyze fully developed turbulent flow in a spanwise rotating channel. Due to the influence of Coriolis force on turbulence, profiles of the flow variables are skewed at moderate rotation rate. The asymmetry between cyclonic ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to set up text files to use when preprocessing models that contain hundreds of parts. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Automate Model Preprocessing with the Application Builder". Read More
The model remove details example v63.mph illustrates how to manually add the Remove Details operation and virtual operations to find and remove small details from a model geometry. In the model geometry cleanup example v63.mph, the automatic Geometry Cleanup added Remove Details ... Read More
This is a demo model to show how to model connections in a mechanical system using Multibody Dynamics interface. In this model, pantograph mechanism is modeled. The purpose of this mechanism is to produce an identical, either enlarged or miniaturized, copy of an existing drawing. Read More
This model simulates transition flow through a microchannel using the Transition Flow interface in COMSOL Multiphysics®, which solves the Boltzmann BGK equation. The analysis is carried out to understand the fluid flow behavior across five different pore-length (porosity) ... Read More
