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 tutorial model of the Joule heating effect in a busbar demonstrates how to synchronize an assembly between the PTC Creo Parametric™ software and the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, how to modify the geometry from COMSOL Multiphysics®, and how to run a ... Read More
This example shows how to perform a fatigue analysis of a structure subjected to harmonic vibrations. The loading is applied at the attachments of the structure, and a frequency sweep is performed to compute the fatigue usage. Read More
This example models the desalination of water by capacitive deionization in a "flow-between" cell (fbCDI). The model geometry is in 2D. Steady Brinkman flow, a tertiary current distribution, and the improved modified Donnan description of the deionization process is assumed. Read More
The S–N curve, also called the Wöhler curve, is one of the most popular methods for fatigue evaluation. The curve relates stress amplitude to the limiting fatigue life and can be obtained directly from a set of standard fatigue test. Many times our applications are subjected to ... Read More
In this model, we show how to model Seebeck effect which works as a thermoelectric generator. Seebeck effect is a phenomena where the difference in temperature of a material leads to a potential difference. The potential drawn in this model was compared with the paper by Jaegle (Example ...

The first model describes the simultaneous flow of two immiscible fluids in porous media - here air displaces water in a multi-step inlet pressure experiment. We solve for the pressure and the degree saturation for the air and water within a representative volume and so track saturation ... Read More
This model simulates arc welding of a titanium plate made from an alpha-beta titanium alloy. During a weld pass, the material experiences a thermal transient, including both heating and cooling. Phase transformations are modeled, and the evolution of the phase composition over time is ... Read More
In this tutorial model, it is demonstrated how to incorporate a localized nonlinearity in a submodel. In this case, an initial elastic analysis reveals that a small region of a structure has stresses above the yield limit. To improve the results, an elastoplastic material model is added ... Read More
Sodium-ion batteries (SIB) are commonly presented as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIB). The SIB chemistry uses Na+ instead of Li+ for electrolyte charge transport and as redox species in the electrode reactions, with the advantage of Na+ being more abundant and with a ... Read More
High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) of a spoke in a wheel rim is studied. As the wheel rotates, the stress histories in the structure will become nonproportional. The risk of fatigue is evaluated using the Findley criterion. Read More
