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.
Electrodeposition of an Inductor Coil
This example models the deposition of an inductor coil in 3D. The geometry includes the extrusion of the deposition pattern into an isolating photoresist mask, and a diffusion layer on top of the photoresist. The mass transfer of copper ions in the electrolyte has a major impact on the ... Read More
Micromechanical Model of a Piezoelectric Fiber Composite
In this example, the micromechanical properties of a piezoelectric fiber composite are studied. The homogenized electromechanical properties of the composite are derived from the individual microscopic properties of matrix and fiber. Read More
Pressurized Orthotropic Container
A thin-walled container made of rolled steel is subjected to an internal overpressure. As an effect of the manufacturing method, one of the three material principal directions—the out-of- plane direction— has a higher yield stress than the other two. Hill’s orthotropic plasticity is used ... Read More
Circular Waveguide Filter
A circular waveguide filter is designed using a 2D axisymmetric model. Six annular rings added to the waveguide form circular cavities connected in series, and each cavity cutoff frequency is close to the center frequency of the filter. The simulated S-parameters show a bandpass ... Read More
Arterial Wall Viscoelasticity
Anisotropic hyperelastic materials are used for modeling collagenous soft tissue in arterial walls. The Arterial Wall Mechanics application describes a section of an artery based on the Holzapfel–Gasser-Ogden hyperelastic material model. In this example the dynamic behavior of the artery ...

Component Mode Synthesis Tutorial
In this tutorial example, the concepts of Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) are introduced through a simple solid model of a cantilever beam. Parts of the beam are reduced by the CMS technique. It is, furthermore, shown how CMS can be used to represent both the static and dynamic behavior ... Read More
Coil Optimization of an ICP Reactor
This model shows how shape optimization can be used design the coils of an ICP reactor to obtain plasma uniformity. The reactor in study is a planar ICP with the coils distributed along the radial direction. The Optimization study step is used to find the best coil placement so that the ... Read More
Stiffness Analysis of a Communication Mast's Diagonal Mounting
Communication masts usually have a framework with a bolted triangular lattice design. The diagonals of the framework are assembled from several parts and welded together. When operating under a given wind load at a specific location, the antenna’s total rotation angle should stay below ... Read More
Generating a Simulation Mesh From Scanned Data
See how to generate a mesh from scanned data via two different workflows. For both examples, the data file is imported in an Interpolation function. In the first workflow, the data is applied on a Grid dataset and a Filter dataset is used to filter out the data to represent the femur. ... Read More
Simulation of RF Tissue Ablation
This example exemplifies how to model tissue ablation through applying RF radiation. A more detailed description of the phenomenon, and the modeling process, can be seen in the blog post "Study Radiofrequency Tissue Ablation Using Simulation". Read More
