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.
Two-Mirror Laser Cavity
In this model, two concave mirrors are placed at a distance and a ray is released from a point inside the cavity. Then the ray is traced for a predefined time period that is sufficiently long. Ray tracing continues until the predefined computation time has passed if the laser cavity is ... Read More
Feasibility Study of Microstrip Patch Antenna Array Design
An antenna array is a group of radiating elements. By controlling the phase and magnitude of the input signal assigned to each antenna element and the number of array elements, the radiation pattern can be steered in a desired direction with a preferred level of gain. In this example, a ... Read More
Lumped Receiver with Full Vibroacoustic Coupling
When simulations are involved in the development of mobile devices, consumer electronics, hearing aids, or headsets, it is necessary to consider how the transducers interact with the rest of the system. Here, we show an analysis of the interaction between a vibration isolation mounting ... Read More
Helical Static Mixer
This app demonstrates the following: Geometry parts and parameterized geometries Dark theme Material appearance visualization with environment reflections Report generation for both Microsoft® Word and Microsoft® PowerPoint Options for setting different mesh sizes Improved graphics ... Read More
Electrode Growth Next to an Insulator
This example shows how to model secondary current distribution and electrode growth with a moving geometry. To avoid numerical instabilities, a seed layer is introduced in the initial geometry to obtain a right angle at the edge between the growing electrode and the insulator. Read More
Trench-Gate IGBT 3D
In this second half of a two-part example, a 3D model of a trench-gate IGBT is built by extruding the 2D model from the first half. Unlike the 2D model, now it is possible to arrange the alternating n+ and p+ emitters along the direction of extrusion as in the real device. This more ... Read More
Negative Streamer in Nitrogen
Streamers are transient filamentary electric discharges that can develop in a nonconducting background in the presence of an intense electric field. These discharges can attain high electron number density and consequently a high concentration of chemical active species that are relevant ... Read More
Lemaitre–Chaboche Viscoplastic Model
Most metals and alloys undergo viscoplastic deformation at high temperatures. In case of cyclic loading, a constitutive law with both isotropic and kinematic hardening is necessary to describe effects such as ratcheting, cyclic softening/hardening, and stress relaxation. The Lemaitre ... Read More
Modeling of a Differential Microstrip Line
A differential line is composed of two transmission lines excited by two out-of-phase signals. This configuration is known to be useful to enhance signal-to-noise ratio. This example shows how to set up the differential microstrip lines using TEM type ports. Read More
Optical Unitary Matrix Multiplication Device Based on MZI Network
Optical computing has been a promising paradigm alternative to the current electronic computers. This model simulates an optical 4-by-4 unitary matrix multiplication device based on a network of six Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs). A more detailed description of this model can be ... Read More
