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.
This tutorial illustrates the use of the connecting features in the Heat Transfer in Solids and Heat Transfer in Shells interfaces, to couple them to a Lumped Thermal System interface. The results obtained with the solid and shell models are compared. Read More
Modeling the penetration of a needle into soft materials, such as gelatin, involves several complex mechanical challenges, including large deformations, high friction, contact forces, and material failure. This example simulates the needle insertion process into tissue-like materials ... Read More
The propagation of elastic waves in the ground after a seismic event is simulated using a 2D model. The effect of the ground surface topology on the wave propagation is illustrated when an ideal half-space is modified with the presence of a small mountain. The model is a variation of ... Read More
This example studies heat transfer in a composite two-dimensional structure. Four materials with distinct thermal conductivities k compose the structure. The top and bottom boundaries are facing environments respectively at 0°C and 20°C. The temperature distribution and the heat flux ... Read More
This is a model of a simple photoacoustic (or optoacoustic) resonator. A pulsating laser heats a gas causing expansion and contraction and thus creates pressure waves. Such devices are used as sensors for measuring material parameters of the gas inside the resonator. The resonance ... Read More
Use this app to validate that the default settings correctly submit jobs to a cluster. These default settings are taken from the preferences. The app allows you to override the default cluster settings, test modifications to the current setup, and test different settings for connecting ... Read More
Intended as a tool for early proof of concept in capacitive touchscreen device development, the Touchscreen Simulator app evaluates a simulated capacitance matrix as well as the electric field norm. The app computes the capacitance matrix of a touchscreen in the presence of a human ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to use the Radiative Beam in Absorbing Media interface (Heat Transfer Module) to model the attenuation of a laser light going through a sample of silica glass, and the heat source generated by the absorption. Read More
Real reactors can be modeled as combinations of ideal reactors. In this example the so-called "Dead zone model" is utilized. Two ideal CSTRs with interchange are set up to model the real reactor. One CSTR represents the highly agitated region and the other the less agitated region. For ... Read More
In this model, you build and solve a 2D beam model using the 2D Structural Mechanics Beam interface. This model describes the eigenfrequency analysis of a simple geometry. A point mass and point mass moment of inertia are used in the model. The two first eigenfrequencies are compared ... Read More
