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.
Wax Guard Acoustics: Transfer Matrix Computation
In this tutorial, the acoustic properties of a wax guard are analyzed. A wax guard is a small perforated mesh used to protect the receiver (the miniature loudspeaker in a hearing aid) used for receiver-in-the-ear (RITE) or receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids. Because of the very small ... Read More
Sensitivity Analysis of a Communication Mast Detail
The example Stiffness Analysis of a Communication Mast’s Diagonal Mounting in the COMSOL Multiphysics Model Library shows how you can modify a 3D CAD model to improve its performance. In that case, the applied changes were based solely on the analyst’s experience with similar structures. ... Read More
Control of an Inverted Pendulum
This model shows how to control the position of the base of an inverted pendulum to keep it vertical. The control is performed using a PID controller in Simulink®. The position of the base is constrained within specified limits, and an external force is applied at the base to keep it ... Read More
Comparison of Campbell Plots Using Different Rotor Interfaces
Different types of elements can be used for modeling a rotor, depending on the level of complexity and the type of the system being modeled. The modeling steps and representation of the results will vary with the type of idealization. In this tutorial model, an eigenfrequency analysis is ... Read More
State Variables
These two example models demonstrate how state variables (new in COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.5) can be used to define and use history-dependent variables. Learn more in the accompanying blog post: "How to Use State Variables in COMSOL Multiphysics®" Read More
Electrostatic Chuck
This models pressure-dependent heating of 4 inch wafer on unipolar electrostatic chuck. Wafer sits on top of ring with electrostatic force holdong down wafer to counter upward pressure from gas flowing in gap between wafer and chuck surface. It is a problem involving 4 coupled physics ... Read More
Modeling User Defined Lumped Ports
These models demonstrate the usage of the user defined lumped port and lumped elements to introduce excitations and lumped circuit elements between volumetric conductors. Additional models show how to use impedance and transition boundary conditions to model the conductors, instead of ... Read More
Monopole Antenna Array
It is possible to shape the radiation pattern and steer the beam from an antenna array by controlling the relative phases and magnitudes of the input signal. This example shows how to design an active electronically scanned array (AESA) using arithmetic phase progression on each antenna ... Read More
Electron Beam Divergence Due to Self-Potential
When modeling the propagation of charged particle beams at high currents, the space charge force generated by the beam significantly affects the trajectories of the charged particles. Perturbations to these trajectories, in turn, affect the space charge distribution. The Charged ... Read More
Heterogeneous Model of a Porous Catalyst Bed
A catalyst particle with a hypothetical microstructure is described in detail. The heterogeneous description is approximated in a second model with a homogeneous particle and the results from the two approaches are compared. See: https://www.comsol.se/blogs/modeling-approaches-in ... Read More
