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 demonstrate how to simulate ray tracing in a pinhole camera viewing a solar eclipse. To keep the model dimensions in check, the Sun and Moon are approximated using planar discs with the appropriate angular size (~0.5 degree) relative to the pinhole. In this example, the ... Read More
Tutorial example of a Erlang SEIR model for the epidemic of COVID-19. The model is validated against data from China, Sweden, and the US. Parametric estimation is done using the reported deaths over time. The tutorial investigates the impact of social distancing on the progress of the ... 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
Two approaches are demonstrated to introduce a goal-seeking Global Equation into a COMSOL Multiphysics® model. This Global Equation acts to adjust a single input of the model such that any single scalar output of the model takes on a desired target value, or goal. Learn more in ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to model the inductive heating of a material with a temperature-dependent BH curve using the Magnetic Fields Formulation interface. Read More
This model simulates a holographic page data storage system. The studies include the recording and retrieval processes. The object beam encrypting 8-bit data is focused into a holographic material by a Fourier lens (Fourier transformation). In the recording process, the object beam ... Read More
This model demonstrates the use of the Two-Phase Thin-Film Flow, Phase Field multiphysics coupling, which can be used to predict the evolution of an interface between two different, immiscible fluids in thin, narrow channels. The example here presents a free boundary lubrication ... Read More
Manual design optimization typically requires numerous sweeps over a parameterized geometry, but it does not guarantee optimal performance under given conditions. Shape optimization removes the need for explicit parameterization and can achieve comparable or even better performance in a ... Read More
Learn how to combine imported CAD with STL meshes in COMSOL Multiphysics® using an example of a dental implant. The STL mesh is prepared in a Mesh Part, the imported CAD assembly is prepared in the Geometry sequence, and the two are combined in a Mesh-Based Geometry sequence. ... 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
