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 studies the structural deformation of an aircraft fuselage structure subjected to buckling loads. The structure is an assembly of panels and skin connected by rivets. The Fasteners feature sets up a large number of connections and computes the forces acting on each rivet. Read More
This app demonstrates the following: Geometry parts and parameterized geometries Dark theme Material appearance visualization with environment reflections Report generation for both Microsoft® Word and Microsoft® PowerPoint Options for setting different mesh sizes Improved graphics ... Read More
This model shows how to model the avalanche breakdown due to the impact ionization in a Silicon Carbide diode. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the device are presented as well as the electric field distribution plot. Furthermore, the carrier generation term has been computed ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to simulate coupled heat and moisture transport in an insulated roof structure, made of a load bearing and an insulation layer. The thermal insulation is facing the interior and there is a moisture barrier facing the exterior. The load bearing is capillary active ... Read More
This example shows how to model a FinFET in 3D. The I-V characteristics of the device are simulated. First, the gate voltage is swept to obtain the drain current versus gate voltage plot. Then, the drain current versus drain voltage characteristics are computed for fixed gate voltages. Read More
In a diode or a transistor, when a p-n junction is reverse-biased (the p-side is connected to a lower potential than the n-side), ideally, no current should flow. However, due to minority carriers (electrons in the p-side and holes in the n-side), a small current, known as the reverse ... Read More
This example is an adaptation of our DC Characteristics of a MOS Transistor (MOSFET) model where the metal and dielectric domains are modeled explicitly and not via a boundary condition. Therefore, the potential profile inside the metal and the insulator can be observed. Read More
This example illustrates the modeling of a sequential manual transmission, where the gears are selected sequentially with the help of a rotating drum. The shift drum has two grooves of specific profile carved around the circumference. As the drum rotates, the grooves on the drum guide a ... Read More
In this example, the dynamics of a hopping hoop is simulated. A rigid rolling ring with a point mass on the perimeter can, under certain conditions, jump up from the surface on which it is rolling. The effects of different parameters like initial velocity and friction are explored. You ... Read More
A tube connection consisting of a flange with eight prestressed bolts is subjected to a set of loads consisting of an internal pressure, an axial force, and an external bending moment. The model domain consists of one quarter of the full geometry, since there are two planes of ... Read More
