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.
Squeezed-film gas damping is a critical aspect of many MEMS transducers and actuators. In accelerometers, for example, inertia produces a motion that the device detects. A typical structure connects a large proof mass to surrounding structures with elastic beams, which forms a mechanical ... Read More
In this example, a rotor supported on two hydrodynamic bearings is analyzed. An eccentric disk located between the two bearings causes the rotor to whirl. One of the bearings is misaligned with the axis of the rotor. The Beam Rotor with Hydrodynamic Bearing interface in the ... Read More
The layout of a district heating network is designed using topology optimization. Read More
This model sets up a linear array of nine tonpilz piezoelectric transducers in a 3x3 grid. A voltage is applied that includes a phase change across the three rows. The transducers are located in a box below the sea surface. The exterior acoustics are modeled using the Pressure ... Read More
Combinations of optical devices such as polarizers and wave retarders can be used to control the intensity and polarization of transmitted radiation. In this tutorial, two linear polarizers with orthogonal transmission axes are used to reduce the intensity of a ray to zero. Then the ... Read More
This tutorial series describes in two different ways how to organize a more complex geometry. Read More
Walking instability, due to non-uniform distribution of clothes, is a common problem in lightweight portable washing machines. This problem is more severe in horizontal-axis washing machines, which are more popular because of their high efficiency in spite of high manufacturing cost. ... Read More
This a continuation of the permanent magnet motor model available here . In this model, an heat transfer analysis has been performed to compute the temperature rise for various stator current and rotor speed. A detailed analysis on torque, and losses in iron and copper have then been ... Read More
This example exemplifies how to model the switching between current and voltage excitations in Terminal boundary conditions. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Control Current and Voltage Sources with the AC/DC Module". Read More
This model demonstrates how to use the Interior Contact feature to model the contact pressure at a bolted joint connecting two copper busbars. The AC current flowing through the assembly is induced to flow close to the outside boundaries of the conductors, but the contact resistance is ... Read More
