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.
In this example, a torque is applied to the inner edge of a circular annulus-shaped membrane while the outer edge is fixed, resulting in membrane wrinkling. The wrinkling membrane model avoids the equilibrium instability that would be produced by the compressive stresses. The effect of ... Read More
In this example, a settlement and heave analysis of a shallow foundation resting on an unsaturated soil stratum is conducted with the Modified Cam-Clay and Extended Barcelona Basic soil models. The effect of pore suction due to movements in the phreatic line and the resulting settlement ... Read More
This is the transient model of a single phase E-core transformer using a homogenized approach for the multi-turn primary and secondary coils. The model includes the effect of magnetic saturation (B-H curve) in the core and shows how to connect the transformer model to the external ... Read More
Oxide jacking is the process by which reinforced concrete cracks, due to the corrosion of the reinforcing rebar rods. The corrosion process causes growth of an oxide layer on the rebar, which in turn causes internal stresses in the concrete. If the corrosion process is allowed to ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to build the geometry for the 3D biased resonator from GDS file using the ECAD Import Module and the Design Module. The procedure emulates semiconductor and MEMS fabrication processes to build 3D geometry more efficiently and is more intuitive for those ... Read More
During professional wine tasting, several samples of wine are judged in one session. It is important that each sample is covered, since evaporation of ethanol and water will change the taste. This model simulates the evaporation of ethanol and water from a wine glass. Evaporation of ... Read More
In this example, the homogenized elastic and thermal properties of a composite material based on a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) are computed. A gyroid TPMS-based unit cell is subjected to periodic boundary conditions to get the homogenized material properties. The effects of ... Read More
This model simulates the dynamics of the shock absorber used in a landing gear mechanism of an aircraft. It analyses the stresses, as well as the heat generated in the landing gear components due to the energy dissipated in the shock absorber. A prismatic joint, with spring and damper, ... Read More
In this 2D tutorial, a test sample consists on one side of an isotropic material and on the other side of a heterogeneous anisotropic material (a transverse anisotropic zinc crystal). Elastic waves in the sample are excited by a point-like force. The model is solved with the Elastic ... Read More
A stationary 3D model of a generic fuel cell cathode describing the mass fraction distribution of oxygen, water, and nitrogen, as well as the current distribution. The model uses Darcy's Law to describe convection, and couples this to Maxwell-Stefan diffusivities to also describe mass ... Read More
