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.
Laminated shells made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CRFP) are common in a large variety of applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. The widespread attention to laminated shells is due to their diverse applications in aerospace, marine, automotive, and various ... 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
The purpose of this application is to generate response spectra from a time history which can consist of either measured data on a file, or an analytical function. Primarily, the target is to provide input to a response spectrum analysis. The graphs can, however, also be used to ... Read More
This conceptual example shows how to calculate critical points in models with contact. The model consists of two contacting arches modeled with the Shell interface. The contact problem is solved using the penalty method. The upper arch is loaded with displacement controlled edge loads ... Read More
In this example, which serves as a tutorial for contact analyses, the insertion of a snap hook in its groove is studied. A linear elastic material model is used. 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 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
This example shows how to implement a stress dependent material model. The Young's modulus changes based on the stress value. Read More
This example models heat generation in a beam-like structure subjected to small amplitude vibrations. The model computes the linear elastic response in the frequency domain. The transient heat-transfer analysis simulates the slow-rising temperature in the beam using the heat generated ... Read More
A Chladni plate is a metal plate that is covered in sand and subjected to vibrations. At certain frequencies, the vibrations produce standing waves, resulting in sand patterns formed on the plate. The vibrations are either formed from a violin bow at the side of the plate or a wave ... Read More
