This model solves Poisson's equation on a unit disk with a point source at the origin. The mesh density is higher close to the origin to resolve the singularity. The computed solution is compared to the analytical solution. Read More
This example minimizes the mass of a bracket that is synchronized from SOLIDWORKS® via the LiveLink™ interface. There are limits both for the lowest natural frequency, and for the maximum stress in a static load case. The size and position for a number of geometrical features ... Read More

This tutorial minimizes the mass of a bracket that is synchronized from PTC Creo Parametric™ via the LiveLink™ interface. There are limits both for the lowest natural frequency, and for the maximum stress in a static load case. The size and position for a number of ... Read More
In many structural dynamics applications, some components are stiff compared to the supporting structure. Such a stiff part will only contribute to the dynamic properties of the structure through its mass and moment of inertia. It is then possible to reduce the model size significantly ... Read More
When analyzing rotors, it is common that bearings are modeled through their effective dynamic coefficients about a static equilibrium position. This model illustrates how to compute such coefficients for a cylindrical journal bearing. The bearing length is kept much smaller than its ... Read More
This example shows how to set up self-contact for a coil spring. As the spring is compressed by a vertical force applied to one of its ends, it comes into to contact with itself and starts to rotate. Read More
An axisymmetric model of a rigid piston in an infinite baffle is used to exemplify the Exterior Field Calculation feature of the Acoustics Module. The radiation results provided by the COMSOL Multiphysics® software are compared to analytical results for the on-axis radiation ... Read More
This model simulates convective heat transfer in a channel filled with water. To reduce memory requirements, the model is solved repeatedly on a pseudo-periodic section of the channel. Each solution corresponds to a different section, and before each solution step the temperature at the ... Read More
This example shows a 2D plane stress model of a thin tapered cantilever. Different boundary and load scenarios are examined. It is demonstrated how to apply and how to evaluate different load and constraint groups. Resulting stresses are compared to NAFEMS benchmark values and they are ... Read More
