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.
In his example, the lowest natural frequency of a 3D bracket are maximized using shape optimization. Read More
The thermal stress in a layered plate is studied in this example. A plate consisting of two layers, a coating and a substrate layer, is stress and strain free at 800 degrees C. The temperature of the plate is reduced to 150 degrees C and thermal stresses are induced due to the difference ... Read More
This example shows how to use response spectrum analysis to verify the integrity of a structure that is exposed to an earthquake. The building is modeled as a steel frame, using beam elements. Displacements and stresses are computed. Read More
This example shows how to model prestressed bolts. The bolt geometry is taken from the Part Libraries. For comparison, one of the bolts is modeled using a thread contact formulation, whereas the other bolt is connected to the bolt hole by a pure continuity condition. The reduced ... Read More
This example presents a homogenized model of a corrugated sheet based on a unit cell approach. The numerically obtained equivalent stiffness matrices are compared with various analytical models. Two corrugation profiles, trapezoidal and round, are considered in this example. Read More
A strong permanent magnet is placed close to a clamped thin plate made of iron. The magnetic force causes the plate to be deflected. This example studies the plate's elastic deformation and stress. The deformation of the plate has an influence on the distribution of the magnetic field. ... Read More
This example shows how to compute the critical buckling load in the presence of dead loads. A truss tower is supported by pretensioned guys. The pretension load and gravity on the truss are considered as dead loads, while the vertical load applied at the top of the tower is considered ... Read More
Interfacial failure by delamination or debonding can be simulated with a Cohesive Zone Model (CZM). This example shows the implementation of a CZM with a bilinear traction-separation law. It is used to predict the mixed-mode softening onset and delamination propagation in a composite ... Read More
