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 example demonstrates how to model a variable-angle tow (VAT) laminate in which the fiber orientation varies linearly along the global x-direction, with each layer assigned its own fiber angle. The results obtained using the Layered Shell interface are compared with a full 3D ... 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
In this model, the stress concentrations around a superelliptic hole in a thin plate are investigated. To learn more about this model, see our accompanying blog post “Stress Concentrations Around a Superellipse”. Read More
This app allows you to simulate the action potential in a cell's membrane using the Hodgkin-Huxley model. As it is presented in the form of a simulation app, you can change the input parameters for potential, conductance, and membrane capacitance to study their effects on the dynamics ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to apply inverse uncertainty quantification (IUQ) using the Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) Module in COMSOL Multiphysics to calibrate uncertain material properties of a resistor based on measurement data. When experimental data such as resistance values are ... Read More
This example shows how to create a time-limited and hardware-locked application. It is associated with the section "Time-Limited and Hardware-Locked Applications" in the Application Programming Guide Read More
The purpose of this app is to understand EIS, Nyquist, and Bode plots. The app lets you vary the bulk concentration, diffusion coefficient, exchange current density, double layer capacitance, and the maximum and minimum frequency. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a common ... Read More
An interesting question was raised in the 1950s by the mathematician Ernst Straus that, in an arbitrarily shaped empty room with side walls made of perfect mirrors, will a point light source always illuminate the whole room? This question was answered by the Nobel Prize-winning ... Read More
This example demonstrates the optimization of fiber orientation in a variable angle tow (VAT) laminate to maximize stiffness under prescribed loading and boundary conditions. The composite laminate consists of a single layer of carbon–PEEK composite with transversely isotropic material ... Read More
This example shows how to model the behavior of a thermostat where a delay in its reaction has been implemented. A more detailed description of the phenomenon, and the modeling process, can be seen in the blog post "How to Implement a Delay in Your Thermostat Simulation". Read More
