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 calculates the spectral properties of a 3D optical ring resonator. The model demonstrates how to use parts from the Wave Optics Parts Library and how to setup the Field Continuity boundary condition at boundaries, where there is a jump in the predefined phase approximation. Read More
This example uses the Electric Currents in Layered Shells interface and the Layered Shell interface to model a piezoresistive pressure sensor. The tutorial considers the design of the MPX100 series pressure sensors originally manufactured by Motorola Inc. Although the sensor is no ... Read More
This model studies a part of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger where hot water enters from above. The cooling medium flows through the tubes that, in this model, impose a constant temperature at the walls. Furthermore, the tubes are assumed to be made of stainless steel and the heat flux ...

Follow this tutorial series to learn about how to work with imported surface meshes. The instructions detail how to import STL files of three vertebrae and two intervertebral discs as well as how to repair holes, misaligned mesh vertices, and intersecting elements. It further ... Read More
This example demonstrates how to perform uncertainty quantification analysis of the Ishigami function. This random function of three variables is a well-known benchmark used to test global sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification algorithms. The mean, standard deviation, ... Read More
The thermal stress in a layered plate is studied in this example. A plate consisting of two layers, a coating and a substrate layer, is stress and strain free at 800 degrees C. The temperature of the plate is reduced to 150 degrees C and thermal stresses are induced due to the difference ... Read More
Interference fit is a technique used to join or fit one part over or around another part. The internal part is cooled, so that it shrinks, and is then fitted. Once the part heats up again and expands, a contact pressure builds up at the interface between the two parts. This type of ... Read More
Due to the demand for larger power with a smaller size, dual-shaft systems with intershaft bearings are becoming a standard configuration for gas turbine engines. Such systems consist of two coaxial rotors running at different speeds, interlinked through a multi-spool bearing. In this ... Read More
This tutorial model simulates a pair of straight conical bevel gears. The gears are modeled as rigid, but one of the gears is fixed while the other is hinged on a rigid bar. The rigid bar is also hinged at a point lying on the axis of the fixed gear. A transient analysis is performed to ... Read More
This is a benchmark model for rigid body dynamics. This model simulates the dynamic behavior of "Andrew’s squeezing mechanism", which is force driven and requires a very small time scale. Various angles in the mechanism are compared with the results from the reference. Read More
