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.
You can use the Method Editor in the Application Builder for creating methods that perform almost any type of modeling tasks, including geometry modeling. It is easy to miss the fact that methods can support recursion by having a method calling itself in a recursive loop. Here, we will ... Read More
In this model a plane wave with circular polarization is reflected off an interface between air and glass. The model demonstrates three different ways of defining this problem. The first part shows how to define user-defined port mode fields. The second part uses the predefined circular ... Read More
This model shows three methods to focalise external irradiation with a convex glass lens made of either: Semitransparent Surface with no reflection. Refractive Interface following the Fresnel's relations. Dielectric Window absorbing ultraviolet and infrared radiations. Read More
This example exemplifies how you can export the data from your mesh and results to a text file. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Exporting Meshes and Solutions Using the Application Builder". 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
This example uses the Granular Flow interface to model the fixed funnel method for calculating the angle of repose, where a funnel is kept at a fixed height. The funnel is first filled with grains which are subsequently released and collected as a heap. The resultant heap is then ... Read More
Laminated composite shells made from graphite–epoxy fiber-reinforced plies are widely used in many applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. Evaluating their structural integrity under applied loads is essential for ensuring reliable designs. This example demonstrates ... 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 shows how to image the interior permittivity of a box by applying a potential difference on the boundaries of the box. The result is a surface charge density that depends on the permittivity of the medium inside the box. Read about this tutorial model in our blog post "The ... Read More
This example shows how to model isotropic volumetric growth and atrophy of soft biological tissues. The artery is represented by a cylinder that is stretched and compressed due to an applied axial load. As a result, the tissue undergoes growth and atrophy. Read More
