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.

Wheel Rim Defeaturing Tutorial Series

This tutorial series demonstrates three different approaches to remove small geometric entities from an imported 3D CAD geometry of a wheel rim: the Repair operation, the Defeaturing tools, and the Remove Details operation. Use Repair to automatically find and remove small entities ... Read More

Parameter Estimation for Nonideal Reactor Models

Real reactors can be modeled as combinations of ideal reactors. In this example the so-called "Dead zone model" is utilized. Two ideal CSTRs with interchange are set up to model the real reactor. One CSTR represents the highly agitated region and the other the less agitated region. For ... Read More

Thermal Bridges in Building Construction — 3D Structure Between Two Floors

This model studies the heat conduction in a building structure separating two floors from the external environment. Four materials with distinct thermal conductivities k compose the structure. The exterior and interior boundaries are facing environments respectively at 0°C and 20°C. The ... Read More

Bracket — Reduced-Order Modeling

This tutorial illustrates how to use a reduced order model to compute the response of a structure subjected to three simultaneous loads having independent time histories. Reduced order models provide an efficient way to analyze problems within linear structural dynamics. Read More

Four-Point Bending Test of an IGBT Module

The four-point bending test is a conventional test method used to test the mechanical properties of materials subjected to bending. It is one of the main reliability tests for semiconductors. This model demonstrates the stress analysis of an IGBT module subjected to a four-point bending ... Read More

Four-Bar Mechanism with Assembly Defect

This is a benchmark model for flexible multibody dynamics. This model simulates the dynamic behavior of a planar four-bar mechanism when one of the joints has a defect. The out-of-plane motion in the mechanism, caused by the defect in the joint, is compared with the results from the ... Read More

Beam Section Calculator

This app demonstrates: Light theme This app allows you to evaluate cross-section data for a wide range of American and European standard beams. Given a set of forces and moments acting on the section, you can also compute a detailed stress distribution. Calculated cross-section data ... Read More

Reverse Recovery of a PIN Diode

This tutorial simulates the turn-off transient (reverse recovery) of a simple PIN diode with an inductive load, loosely based on the book "Fundamentals of Power Semiconductor Devices" by B. J. Baliga (p. 256, 2008 edition). Unlike the book, which assumes an initial constant current ramp ... Read More

Acoustic-Structure Interaction with Frequency Domain, Modal Solver

For models with acoustic-structure couplings it is necessary to calculate the left eigenvectors to use the Frequency Domain, Modal solver. The model shows the necessary changes to the default settings of the eigenfrequency solver. Read More

Pacemaker Electrode

This model, dealing with the current and potential distribution around one pair of electrodes, demonstrates how to synchronize and modify geometry in Creo Parametric by using the LiveLink interface. Read More
