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 demonstrates the use of the Solid-Beam Connection multiphysics coupling to create transitions between the Solid Mechanics and Beam interfaces. Two different connection types are discussed, and a comparison of the stress distributions at the transition is made. Read More
In this example, two model for brittle damage are used to evaluate the fracture of a notched concrete beam subjected to three point bending. The results are compared with experimental data. Read More
A catalyst particle with a hypothetical microstructure is described in detail. The heterogeneous description is approximated in a second model with a homogeneous particle and the results from the two approaches are compared. See: https://www.comsol.se/blogs/modeling-approaches-in ... Read More
This example studies the natural frequencies of a pretensioned membrane exhibiting stress stiffening. The model results are compared with the analytical solution. Two different techniques for generating the prestress are explored. Read More
The models simulate the working mechanism of traveling wave thermoacoustic engines. Similary to the standing wave engines, the traveling wave engines make use of the coupling between the fluid motion and the temperature change experienced by the fluid to generate acoustic energy. ... Read More
Follow this tutorial series to learn about how to work with imported surface meshes. The instructions detail how to import STL files of three vertebrae and two intervertebral discs as well as how to repair holes, misaligned mesh vertices, and intersecting elements. It further ... Read More
This model illustrates the greenhouse effect in a box covered by a plate and exposed to sun radiation over a day. The temperature variation is monitored in two cases: with a plate made of glass, transparent in the solar spectral band and opaque for the ambient solar band with a fully ... Read More
In this example, the natural frequencies of a double hat beam are studied. The beam is made of two thin steel plates, joined together by spot welds along the flanges. The Spot Welds feature sets up multiple mesh-independent connections between the shells. Read More
Delamination or the separation of layers is a common failure mode in laminated composite materials. Various factors, including loading, defects in the material, and environmental conditions can trigger the initiation and propagation of layer separation. This leads to degraded structural ... Read More
The fluid flow in seals causes a strong restoring radial force, opposing the shaft motion. Also, there is a cross coupled force due to the axial variation of the circumferential flow. The first type of force always has a stabilizing effect on the rotor, whereas the second one in certain ... Read More
