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.

Microlithography Lens

Microlithography lenses are used to project the image of an integrated circuit onto a silicon substrate. This tutorial demonstrates how to create a 21-element fused silica lens which has a NA of 0.56 which is designed to be used at a wavelength of 248nm. The lens, which has a total ... Read More

Electrical Heating in a Busbar

This tutorial model of the Joule heating effect in a busbar demonstrates how to synchronize an assembly between the PTC Pro/ENGINEER® software and the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, how to modify the geometry from COMSOL Multiphysics®, and how to run a geometric ... Read More

Large Swelling in Polymer Hydrogels

Polymer hydrogels consist of a crosslinked network of long-chained polymers that has imbibed a large number of solvent molecules. Such materials are used in many biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and stimuli-sensitive actuators. This benchmark ... Read More

Electrodynamics of a Power Switch — Multibody Version

Electrical events, such as an overcurrent or overload, can seriously damage electrical circuits or power lines. To avoid expensive replacements of critical parts, electric switch circuit breakers can be installed. These mechanically interrupt the current flow or surge by moving a plunger ... Read More

Phase Transformations in a Round Bar

A 2D model of a steel bar is used to simulate oil quenching from an austenitic state. Both diffusive and displacive phase transformations are used, and the phase composition is computed in the radial direction of the bar. Read More

Temperature-Dependent Plasticity in Pressure Vessel

This example demonstrates how to use temperature dependent materials within the Nonlinear Structural Materials Module. A large container holds pressurized hot water. Several pipes are attached to the pressure vessel. Those pipes can rapidly transfer cold water in case of an emergency ... Read More

2D Non-Newtonian Slot-Die Coating

This tutorial shows how to model a slot die coating process with a power-law non-Newtonian fluid in one of the two phases. The model uses a two-phase flow phase-field method. Read More

Hexagonal Plasmonic Color Filter

This model demonstrates how to perform simulations of an absorbing bandstop color filter, based on a hexagonal array of holes in a thin aluminum layer. The structure is hexagonally periodic but this example also shows how to set the model up as rectangularly periodic. Read More
