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.
Layered shell elements, which are used for modeling composite shells, often connected to solid and shell elements in a cladding or side-by-side configuration to represent a realistic structure. For such applications, it becomes important to connect layered shell element correctly and ... Read More
This model simulates an LED that emits in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The device structure is made up of a single p-n junction formed by a layer of p-type doping near the top surface of an otherwise n-type wafer. This kind of device geometry is simple and cheap to ...

The induced currents in a copper cylinder produce heat that in turn change the electrical conductivity. This means that the field propagation has to be solved simultaneously with the heat transfer through the cylinder and surrounding system. This model shows this coupling between eddy ... Read More
This model and tutorial demonstrates the use of an Application Method to compute and plot the geometric Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) for the Petzval Lens. Read More
A circular metal bar is subjected to uniaxial tension. As an effect, large plastic strains develop. The material is elastoplastic with nonlinear isotropic hardening. As the elongation is increased, the decrease in radius becomes strongly nonuniform, so called "necking". The development ... Read More
Power lines are commonly used as a means of transmitting electrical power across large distances. In this tutorial, towers transmitting high voltage three-phase AC power are modeled, and the resulting electric field is computed. The towers have two shielding lines. The model also ... Read More
Crimping is the plastic deformation process used to form an electrical joint between a stranded conductor and a terminal. The process involves complex multi-surface contact, including self-contact, as the terminal sleeve is plastically deformed around the wire strands. This example ... 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
