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 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
Ultrahigh Molecular Weight (UHMW) Polyethylene is a material commonly employed in knee and hip joint replacements. The “small punch test” is designed to assess mechanical properties using very small samples, such that because of their size they can directly be explanted. This example ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to use the Uncertainty Quantification Module by running a series of uncertainty quantification studies for a steel bracket. This type of bracket can be used to install an actuator that is mounted on a pin placed between the two holes in the bracket arms. ... Read More
This example illustrates the modeling of ply drop-off in a composite panel. The panel considered for the analysis has three sections–thick, taper, and thin. The thick section plies are divided into the core, top-bottom belts, and dropped plies. The thick section of the panel has sixteen ... Read More
Lamb-wave resonators are useful components for many radio-frequency applications. This example shows how you model an aluminum nitride Lamb wave resonator and perform eigenfrequency and frequency-response analyses to characterize the device. The tutorial uses the Electric Currents in ... Read More
This problem follows a typical preliminary board-level thermal analysis. First perform a simulation of the board with some Integrated Circuits (ICs). Then, add a disk-stack heat sink to observe cooling effects. Finally, explore adding a copper layer to the bottom of the board in order to ... Read More
The models here showcase several use cases of the Circuit Extractor add-in, which is able to generate electric circuits from solved physics. A more detailed description of this tutorial model can be found in the blog post "Extracting Electrical Circuits from Electromagnetics ... Read More
In this tutorial, the acoustics of an open-plan office space are analyzed using a wave-based approach in the time domain. An initial pulse is released and the room response is analyzed. Realistic frequency-dependent impedance conditions for the ceiling, carpet, and gypsum walls are ... Read More
A thermoacoustic engine is a device with no moving parts that can generate acoustic energy from temperature gradients within the engine. It uses the relationship between the movement of oscillating air and the temperature changes in the air compressed and expanded by the acoustic waves. ... Read More
In this example, the External Stress feature in the Solid Mechanics interface is used to provide the material model with the nonsymmetric stress required in the design of an elastic invisibility cloak. The cloak is a domain with special material properties aimed at shielding a region of ... Read More
