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 type is one of the most popular laser cavities. In particular, it is often used for the Ti-doped sapphire femto-second laser. The stability of the laser cavity is analyzed by releasing a ray inside the cavity and is traced for a predefined time period that is sufficiently long. ... Read More
In this tutorial model, a six step thrust bearing is analyzed. A step thrust bearing consists of a stepped bearing surface on which the end of the shaft rotates. The entire assembly is submerged in a lubricant. The shaft collar is assumed to be spinning without any axial motion in the ... 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
This app demonstrates the following: How an app can be used as a teaching tool An 8 question multiple choice quiz where the answers can be sent to the grader by email This app calculates the equilibrium compositions in gas phase conversion of ethylene to ethanol. It allows you to ... Read More
A thin-walled frame with a central cutout is subjected to a random load. Although the stresses are far below the yield level of the material, damage accumulates over the load history. The Rainflow counting algorithm is used to define the load scenario and Palmgren-Miner linear damage ... Read More
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
Tesla microvalves exploit the non-linear nature of inertial flow to create anisotropic flow resistance. They can be used as robust valves owing to their passive working mechanism, but for many applications the diodicity is too low. Two-dimensional simulations and optimization over ... Read More
This benchmark example builds two models of a cross-bridge Kelvin resistor used for extracting the specific contact resistivity. The first model simulates the system in 3D, using the contact resistance feature built in the Semiconductor interface. The other model is a 2D approximation of ... Read More
In his example, the lowest natural frequency of a 3D bracket are maximized using shape optimization. Read More
During the design of a building, environmental issues have gained considerable influence in the entire project. One of the first concerns is to improve thermal performances. In this process, simulation software are key tools to model thermal losses and performances in the building. The ... Read More
