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 topology optimized Tesla microvalve is used as inspiration for a parametrized geometry. The optimization of this geometry takes erosion and dilation of the geometry into account by optimizing over a parametric sweep. In this example the optimization is driven by the worst of the 3 ... Read More
In this verification example, forced random vibrations of a simply-supported deep beam are studied. The beam is loaded by a distributed force with a uniform power spectral density (PSD). The output PSD is computed for the displacement and bending stress response. The computed values are ... Read More
These two example models demonstrate how state variables (new in COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.5) can be used to define and use history-dependent variables. Learn more in the accompanying blog post: "How to Use State Variables in COMSOL Multiphysics®" Read More
This model demonstrates how to use the built-in shape optimization functionality to improve the performance of a plate heat exchanger. The optimization reduces the path immediately in front of the inlets and outlets to increase the length of typical streamlines. This leads to a improved ... Read More
The triaxial test is one of the most common tests used in laboratory soil testing. The soil sample is normally placed inside a rubber membrane and then compressed maintaining a radial pressure. In this model, a vertical displacement and a confinement pressure are applied on the sample ... Read More
The model studied is a benchmark for a hinged cylindrical panel subjected to a point load at its center. A linear buckling analysis predicts the critical buckling load. Such an analysis will however not give any information about what happens at loads higher than the critical load. ... Read More
In mode analysis it is usually the primary goal to find a propagation constant. This quantity is often, but not always, real valued; if the analysis involves some lossy part, such as a nonzero conductivity or an open boundary, the eigenvalue is complex. In such situations, the real and ... Read More
A metallic cylindrical rod is hidden inside a spherical dielectric shell and its orientation is unknown. By studying the polarization-dependent scattered field of a cylindrical object and performing a parametric sweep as a function of polarization angle, the rod is detected for the ... Read More
The underlying physics of a capacitively coupled plasma is rather complicated, even for rather simple geometric configurations and plasma chemistries. This model benchmarks the Capacitively Coupled Plasma physics interface against many different codes. Read More
This model studies the heat conduction in a thermal bridge made up of an iron bar and an insulation layer that separates a hot internal side from a cold external side. The heat flux between internal and external side and the maximum temperature on the external wall are compared them with ... Read More
