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 example is an extension of a model used to study the vibration and noise in a 5-speed synchromesh gearbox in a manual transmission vehicle. In this version of the model, a detailed representation of a roller bearing is used instead of hinge joints with elastic stiffness. First, the ... Read More
This benchmark demonstrates how to use the Beam interface in the Structural Mechanics Module. It calculates the deformation, section forces, and stresses in a cantilever beam as well as a number of eigenfrequencies. It also illustrates how to use the Beam Cross Section interface to ... Read More
The elastoacoustic effect is a change in the speed of elastic waves that propagate in a structure undergoing static elastic deformations. The effect is used in many ultrasonic techniques for nondestructive testing of prestressed states within structures. This example studies the ... Read More
In this example, a triaxial test is simulated using the Hardening Soil material model. The test consists of two stages; an initial isotropic compression followed by axial compression. A hyperbolic stress-strain relation is recovered. It is also verified that the asymptotic value of the ... Read More
In this tutorial the acoustic behavior of a duct or waveguide with a right angled bend is analyzed. The model uses port boundary conditions at the inlet and outlet. The ports can capture and treat non-plane propagating modes in waveguides, extending the analysis above the first cutoff ... Read More
This model example shows how to model nonlinear propagation of a cylindrical wave using the Nonlinear Pressure Acoustics, Time Explicit physics interface available in Acoustics Module of COMSOL Multiphysics. The interface implements the system of nonlinear acoustic equations in the form ... Read More
Prior to the reliability testing, surface-mount devices (SMDs) are required to go through a preconditioning process, which represents the effects of storage and the typical reflow operation in the following board assembly process. During the preconditioning process, test samples usually ... Read More
This example simulates the insertion of a snap hook in its groove. Fasteners like this are common in the automotive industry, for example, in the control panel of a car. In this case it is important to know the force that must be applied in order to place the hook in the slot and also ... Read More
This example illustrates how to model a barrel hinge connecting two solid objects in an assembly. In this model, the details of the connection are not the focus of the analysis, therefore, the hinge joint is modeled using a Joint feature in the Multibody Dynamics Module. The connected ... Read More
Chain drives are used for transmitting power from one shaft to another, located at some distance. This example demonstrates how to model a chain sprocket assembly in 3D. The geometry consists of a roller chain wrapped around two sprockets. All components are assumed to be elastic. The ... Read More
