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 simulates the propagation of a positive streamer in transformer oil under a lightning impulse voltage. The space charge density and the electric field are obtained. The simulated streamer radius agrees well with the measured values. Read More
For slender structures, buckling is a catastrophic instability if the service load is above the critical limit. For such structures, it can be important to study the behavior of the structure beyond the critical buckling load, which is known as postbuckling analysis. Tracing the ... Read More
An automotive midwoofer is modeled using the lumped parameter approach. The electrical and mechanical components are modeled using a lumped electric circuit, which is coupled to a finite element model for the acoustics using the Lumped Speaker Boundary feature. The large signal ... Read More

In this example, the External Stress feature in the Solid Mechanics interface is used to provide the material model with the nonsymmetric stress required in the design of an elastic invisibility cloak. The cloak is a domain with special material properties aimed at shielding a region of ... Read More
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
In the surface acoustic waves industry different crystal cuts of piezoelectric materials are used, e.g. 128ᵒ YX LiNbO3, AT&ST quartz, 42ᵒ YX LiTaO3, etc. Direct data isn’t available for all cuts. The standard approach is to use the so-called Euler angle rotation. COMSOL supports it ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to use the built-in shape optimization functionality to improve the performance of a plate heat exchanger. The optimization reduces the path immediately in front of the inlets and outlets to increase the length of typical streamlines. This leads to a improved ... Read More
