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.
Topology optimization is associated with extreme design freedom which can yield extreme performance. The designs can be easier to manufacture by using milling constraints, at some cost to the performance. This example considers the case of a torsion sphere which is known to feature a ... Read More
When estimating the parameters of a multiphysics model, both experimental noise and modeling uncertainties will contribute to corresponding uncertainties in the final parameters estimated. In this verification example, we demonstrate the new Variance functionality in the Parameter ... Read More
This model demonstrates 2D topology optimization for the problem of minimum mass subject to a compliance constraint and a stress constraint. The stress constraint is implemented with a P-norm global aggregation function. The stress input to this is interpolated differently than the Young ... Read More
This model demonstrates the ability to simulate Multibody Dynamics in COMSOL. It comprises a multilink mechanism that is used in an antique automobile as a gearshift lever. It was created out of curiosity to find out how large forces are on the individual components. The model uses ... Read More
The miniaturization of electronics devices requires batteries with higher energy density and power. To increase the contact area between the electrodes and the solid electrolyte, 3D configurations such as the trench geometry are used. This example demonstrates how to model a solid-state ...

Various boundary conditions are employed in the computation of homogenized properties for heterogeneous materials. The choice between periodic or homogeneous boundary conditions depends on whether the infinitesimal volume is modeled as a repeating unit cell (RUC) or a representative ... Read More
For models with acoustic-structure couplings it is necessary to calculate the left eigenvectors to use the Frequency Domain, Modal solver. The model shows the necessary changes to the default settings of the eigenfrequency solver. Read More
Beam theories are well-developed for slender structures with homogeneous materials and isotropic cross-sections. The traditional beam theories do no apply to beams made of different materials in the cross-section. Therefore, a homogenization-based numerical model is needed to compute ... Read More
This example illustrates the modeling of a tensegrity table. The table is made of two rigid bodies connected through a central wire and four outer wires. Two cases are analyzed. In the first case, the top of the table is loaded with vertically downward acting load of varying magnitude. ... Read More
Gradient-based optimization is an efficient way of computing better values for many control variables. This example optimizes diameters of individual members in a truss structure such that the structure becomes stiffer without adding mass to the structure. The structure will be only be ... Read More
