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 uses the Semiconductor and RF modules to describe a photoconductive antenna (PCA). A laser pulse is applied on the surface of undoped LT-GaAs to generate electron-hole-pairs, which move under the influence of an external E-field creating a transient electric current pulse. ... Read More
When estimating the parameters of a multiphysics model, both experimental noise and modeling uncertainties will contribute to corresponding uncertainties in the final parameters estimated. In this verification example, we demonstrate the new Variance functionality in the Parameter ... Read More
This is a simple 1D model demonstrating ultrafast heat transfer simulations for femtosecond pulsed laser heating. Specifically, the following three models are implemented and compared with conventional Fourier heat conduction (known as parabolic one-step, POS): Hyperbolic one-step ... Read More
This model demonstrates the caustic effect produced by a cylindrical mirror. It highlights the advantages of the forward ray shooting method when modeling specular reflections from an external radiation source with the Surface-to-Surface Radiation interface. Read More
This model simulates a cylindrical furnace with isotropic scattering. It validates the use of the Discrete Ordinates Method for 2D axisymmetric cases, comparing the results with the highly accurate Monte Carlo method. The setup and reference Monte Carlo values are given in: R .P. Gupta, ... Read More
Ion beam etching is a critical technique widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, materials science, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). This proof-of-concept model simulates argon ion sputtering of a silicon surface using the Charged Particle Tracing interface. A Deformed ... Read More
This model demonstrates 3D topology and shape optimization for an extruded geometry. This can be achieved using equation-based modeling and extrusion operators. The model considers stiffness maximization of a beam subject to a constraint on the mass, but the method can be used with any ... Read More
This model shows how to simulate the complex discharge physics behind the well-known electrostatic discharge (ESD). The model connects the Electrical Discharge interface with the Circuit interface to simulate how ESD current is generated when a human hand touches metal. Read More
This model computes the fundamental eigenfrequency and eigenmode for a tuning fork that is synchronized from SOLIDWORKS® 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 model is based on the Metasurface Beam Deflector model. The performance is improved using shape optimization by allowing both the radii and the position of the individual pillars to change. Read More
