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.
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
In this model, two fluids are separated by a multilayer solid elastic structure. An acoustic pressure wave impacts the structure resulting in a reflected wave and a transmitted wave with a loss through the structure. This model investigates the transmission loss through the structure. ... Read More
Laminated shells made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CRFP) are common in a large variety of applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. The widespread attention to laminated shells is due to their diverse applications in aerospace, marine, automotive, and various ... Read More
A load carrying component of a structure is subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading during which localized yielding of the material occurs. In this model you perform a low cycle fatigue analysis of the part based on the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model. Due to localized yielding, you ... Read More
This example illustrates how to perform eigenfrequency and static analyses of a ladder frame structure for a light truck. Important modeling strategies are described. For example, how to convert a solid geometry to a shell model, how to make different types of connections, and how to ... Read More
This model demonstrates alternative implementations used for describing a thin layer and the impact of the choice on the continuity of the displacement and stress fields. It is shown how a perfect interface can be obtained by asymptotically changing the material parameters. Read More
The four-point bending test is a conventional test method used to test the mechanical properties of materials subjected to bending. It is a reliability test used for semiconductor packaging and assembly. This model demonstrates the stress analysis of an IGBT module subjected to a four ... Read More
This is a full vibro-electroacoustic simulation of a balanced armature (BA) transducer (also known as a receiver in some industries) which is a high performance miniature loudspeaker often used in hearing aids and other in-ear audio products. The model is set up using a linear frequency ... Read More
This tutorial illustrates how to use a reduced order model to compute the response of a structure subjected to three simultaneous loads having independent time histories. Reduced order models provide an efficient way to analyze problems within linear structural dynamics. Read More
This model showcases how to solve for the scattered field when knowing the incident field for three different types of scatterer, i.e. an infinitely rigid one, a cavity and an elastic inclusion. This formulation can be useful when the scatterer is in the far-field of the source, such ... Read More
