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 model of the Joule heating effect in a busbar demonstrates how to synchronize an assembly between the PTC Creo Parametric™ software and the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, how to modify the geometry from COMSOL Multiphysics®, and how to run a ... Read More
When analyzing rotors, it is common that bearings are modeled through their effective dynamic coefficients about a static equilibrium position. This model illustrates how to compute such coefficients for a cylindrical journal bearing. The bearing length is kept much smaller than its ... Read More
Due to the demand for larger power with a smaller size, dual-shaft systems with intershaft bearings are becoming a standard configuration for gas turbine engines. Such systems consist of two coaxial rotors running at different speeds, interlinked through a multi-spool bearing. In this ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to use the Polynomial Shell feature to increase the lowest Eigenfrequency of a shell by deforming its shape. Read More
This model demonstrates how a nonlinear equation system can be setup to solve for the eigenfrequencies of a symmetric laser cavity. The model uses the bidirectional formulation of the Electromagnetic Waves, Beam Envelopes physics interface. The computed eigenfrequencies are verified with ... Read More
In this example, a spring-loaded valve-opening mechanism consisting of a rocker arm and a radial cam is studied. All of the system components are modeled as rigid and are connected through prismatic, hinge, and slot joints. The cam-follower connection as well as other joint connections ... Read More
A fractal is a mathematical form showing self-repeating patterns. By virtue of its geometrical properties, a fractal structure can generate multiple resonances in RF applications. This antenna model uses a 3rd order Sierpinski triangle and the calculated S-parameters shows good input ... Read More
Powder compaction is a key process in powder metallurgy, where it gives the flexibility to produce quality products of complex shapes for sintering. The density of the compact is a key factor to determine the overall quality of the sintered product, as regions with lower density could ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to use stationary polarization data to perform parameter estimation of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) model. The model, defining a 5-layer membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is two-dimensional and includes electronic and ionic charge ... Read More
This model presents a 2D simulation of transient arc discharge movement along guided copper rails. While accurately modeling transient arcs typically requires a 3D simulation, the 2D approach offers greater efficiency and remains valuable for initial investigations and demonstration ... Read More
