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.
Shift into gear
This model demonstrates the ability to simulate Multibody Dynamics in COMSOL. It comprises a multilink mechanism that is used in an antique automobile as a gearshift lever. It was created out of curiosity to find out how large forces are on the individual components. The model uses ... Read More
Topology Optimization of a Torsion Sphere with Milling Constraints
Topology optimization is associated with extreme design freedom which can yield extreme performance. The designs can be easier to manufacture by using milling constraints, at some cost to the performance. This example considers the case of a torsion sphere which is known to feature a ... Read More
Simulation of a Counterweight Trebuchet
In this multibody dynamics model of a simple counterweight trebuchet, a parametric sweep is used to study throwing distance as function of the sling length. For more details on performing a multibody analysis of a counterweight trebuchet, see this blog post: What Is the Physics Behind a ... Read More
A Phase Field Model of Fracture in Thermoelastic Solids new
This model demonstrates how to set up a phase field damage multiphysics model to predict crack propagation in thermoelastic solids under large deformations. The crack-driving force depends on the principal stresses, which in turn depend on the temperature distribution in the solid ... Read More
Micromechanical Model of a Composite with Temperature-Dependent Material Properties
The homogenized material properties of a composite are computed based on the temperature-dependent properties of matrix and fiber. The homogenized parameters are compared to the analytical values derived from the rule of mixtures. This is an extension of model https://www.comsol.com ... Read More
