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.
The eigenfrequencies of a rotating blade are studied in this benchmark. It shows how stress stiffening and spin softening affect the fundamental eigenfrequency. High rotational speeds in rotating machinery can result in centrifugal forces of considerable magnitude. The forces induced by ... Read More
As integrated circuit (IC) technology advances, with circuits becoming more powerful and compact, it is increasingly important to identify and prevent any cause of circuit failure. One particularly critical factor contributing to circuit failure is electromigration within the ... Read More
This benchmark studies the nonlinear deformation of a spherical cap subjected to point load at center using 2D axisymmetric Solid Mechanics and Shell interfaces. The results from the Shell interface are compared with Solid Mechanics interface as well as with analytical results given in ... Read More
This model illustrates the instability of a space arc frame under concentrated vertical loading. The Beam interface is utilized. Two different approaches are used: A full incremental nonlinear analysis, where a small lateral load is applied to break the symmetry of the structure A ... Read More
In many structural dynamics applications, some components are stiff compared to the supporting structure. Such a stiff part will only contribute to the dynamic properties of the structure through its mass and moment of inertia. It is then possible to reduce the model size significantly ... Read More
This example studies the deflection of a cantilever beam undergoing very large deflections. The beam is modeled using the Solid Mechanics, Shell, and Beam interfaces. The results are compared with each other and with a benchmark solution from NAFEMS. In addition, a linear buckling ... Read More
A hinge between two mechanical components is modeled by coupling two rigid connectors. This method can be used for simulating many types of mechanisms. In mechanical assemblies, parts are sometimes connected so that they are free to move relative to each other in one or more degrees of ... Read More
A detailed description of these models can be found in our blog post “How Should I Evaluate Singular Stress Fields?”. The models are: notchedStrip.mph – Model for the initial studies of the stress field properties. singularityPower.mph – Small model solving the transcendental equation ... Read More
This model presents a method to analyze acoustic damping pads. These pads use a constrained layer of viscoelastic material to dissipate energy and thus reduce the energy radiated as noise. Damping pads are used in many different industries to reduce the noise generated by vibrating ... Read More
This app demonstrates: Light theme This app allows you to evaluate cross-section data for a wide range of American and European standard beams. Given a set of forces and moments acting on the section, you can also compute a detailed stress distribution. Calculated cross-section data ... Read More
