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.

Modeling of a CPW Using Numeric TEM Ports

This tutorial example shows how to set port features in a physics interface when designing a coplanar waveguide (CPW) circuit that is useful for mmWave applications. Read More

Steady-State 1D Heat Transfer with Radiation

The example shows a 1D steady-state thermal analysis including radiation to a prescribed ambient temperature. The temperature field from the solution of this benchmark model is compared with a NAFEMS benchmark solution. Read More

CPW Resonator for Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics

Developments in the last decade have made circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) the leading architecture for quantum computation. cQED is the solid-state version of cavity QED, which studies the basic light-matter interactions at the quantum level. This model examines one of the main ... Read More

Creating a Fluid Domain Inside a Solid Structure

The majority of 3D CAD files include only the geometry of the product to be manufactured. For finite element analysis, however, you find yourself often in a situation where additional geometry is needed, for example, to analyze the flow inside or outside a device. This tutorial, ... Read More

Dielectric Shielding Comparison

The dielectric shielding boundary condition is meant to approximate a thin layer of material with high relative permittivity compared to its surroundings. This boundary condition is available for electrostatic field modeling. This example compares the dielectric shielding boundary ... Read More

Block Pressing on Arch

This conceptual example shows how to calculate critical points in models with contact. The model consists of a block modeled with the Solid Mechanics interface pressing on an arch modeled with the Shell interface. The contact problem is solved using the augmented Lagrangian method. The ... Read More

Contact Analysis of an Elastic Snap Hook

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

Convective Flow in a Heat Exchanger Plate

This example models flow in a microchannel heat exchanger by coupling a Laminar Flow interface in 3D to a Pipe Flow interface. By the use of the Pipe Flow interface to model the flow in the microchannels the problem size is significantly reduced. This model showcases the Pipe Connection ... Read More

Radar Cross Section

This tutorial model demonstrates the use of a background field in an electromagnetic scattering problem. Although this example is a boat hit by a radar, this same technique can be used in any situation where an isolated object meets electromagnetic waves from a distant source. For ... Read More

Current Distribution in a Chlor-Alkali Membrane Cell

The chlor-alkali membrane process is one of the largest in industrial electrolysis with the production of roughly 40 million metric tons of both chlorine and caustic soda per year. Chlorine is used predominantly for the production of vinyl chloride monomer, which in turn is used for the ... Read More
