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 model demonstrates the motion of a bicycle with a hands-free rider when given an initial forward velocity and perturbed with a lean about the forward axis. This is implemented through the Multibody Dynamics module in COMSOL. The wheels of the bicycle have been modelled assuming ... Read More
This model computes the fundamental eigenfrequency and eigenmode for a tuning fork that is synchronized from Pro/ENGINEER via the LiveLink interface. The length of the fork is then optimized so that the tuning fork sounds the note A, 440 Hz. Read More
This parametrized model can be used to simulate the hopping hoop problem. A rolling ring with a point mass on the perimeter can, under certain conditions, jump up from the surface on which it is rolling. A more detailed description of this model can be found in the blog post "The ... Read More
This app simulates sedimentation of particles or agglomerations of particles in a solution. The distribution of particles or agglomerations of particles is taken into account. Read More
In a polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzer cell, hydrogen and oxygen gas is produced by electrolysis. The hydrogen and oxygen compartments are separated by a polymer membrane, that also acts as electrolyte. This introductory tutorial computes the ohmic and activation losses in ... Read More
Solving very large pressure acoustics models in the frequency domain can be challenging. Several iterative solver suggestions exist for the default physics setups and the default quadratic Lagrange discretization. For very large models it can be advantageous to switch from quadratic to ... Read More
The purpose of this model is to demonstrate pure rolling of a rigid wheel when given an initial forward velocity together with a prescribed lean about this direction. It is assumed that the the rolling motion of the wheel is not affected by contact such that all three components of the ... Read More
This example shows how to model the behavior of a thermostat where a delay in its reaction has been implemented. A more detailed description of the phenomenon, and the modeling process, can be seen in the blog post "How to Implement a Delay in Your Thermostat Simulation". Read More
This example demonstrates an app that utilizes the LiveLink™ interface for PTC Creo Parametric™ to run simulations on CAD designs. Read More
Mechanical precession prevents bicycle pedals from falling off. The model captures this effect using a multibody dynamics simulation together with a contact analysis. A friction coefficient is associated with the contact in order for the model to capture the effect. Read More
