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 how to solve an ordinary differential equation for the motion of a spacecraft about a planet. In addition to computing the path, it is possible to use several results presentation features to make interesting visualizations. For a full description of this model, ... Read More
Beam theories are well-developed for slender structures with homogeneous materials and isotropic cross-sections. The traditional beam theories do no apply to beams made of different materials in the cross-section. Therefore, a homogenization-based numerical model is needed to compute ... 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
The sound distribution from a TV in a two-room apartment is computed. The simulation demonstrates the use of the Acoustic Diffusion Equation interface to get a quick and simple estimate of the local sound pressure level. For increased accuracy, an analytical expression for the direct ... 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
This model uses the Granular Flow and Membrane interfaces to simulate the packing of spherical grains in a flexible container, a procedure often found in the processing industry. In this example, grains are packed into a cubic container constructed of a thin polymer fabric. Two packing ... 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
This model demonstrates how to use the chatbot functionality in COMSOL Multiphysics® to add annotations to a model of a pacemaker electrode. To learn more about this model, see our accompanying blog post “Using the Chatbot Window in COMSOL Multiphysics®”. Read More
Inverted elements can prevent large deformations for shape optimization. This model demonstrates how this problem can be circumvented using export/import of the geometry and a model method. The technique is demonstrated on a benchmark problem from topology optimization, where the ... Read More
This model demonstrates two ways of modeling waveguides that support multiple modes. A PML can be used to absorb any modes, or Ports can be explicitly added for each possible mode. Learn more in this accompanying blog post: Modeling Waveguides that Support Multiple Modes Read More
